The Spanda Sculpture is a 29m piece of art made of steel and carbon fibre, and was designed by WA-born artist Christian de Vietri. It apparently represents water ripples, and links the Swan River with the land and sky.
It is well lit at night, and makes for an interesting photography subject.

This set of photos was taken just over a week ago, and as with the set of photos of the Elizabeth Quay bridge that I recently posted, I've used black and white to emphasise the shapes and light.

Photos in this set are all long exposures that were taken with the Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens and the awesome Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens, and the camera was triggered with my trusty Phottix Plato wireless shutter release.

Great shots Martin! (even the one with sparklers growing out of your armpits)

@Richard: Thanks for the feedback. It wasn't intentional, but those two lights under my arms are almost symmetrical!

Good to see you still active Martin with a strong series. Hope all is well.
