In December 1874, Sydney Observatory astronomers made their first photograph of the Transit of Venus. This achievement was the result of interdisciplinary collaboration between astronomers, photographers and industry. 150 years on Photofields brings together photographers and scientists working across astronomy, photojournalism, art and film for a series of workshops, talks and screenings presented across Ace Hotel Sydney, Golden Age Cinema and Sydney Observatory.
