2008 labor day fireworks 2008 Cincinnati Annual Labor Day Fireworks

A single exposure. 1.9s at f9, ISO 100.

No alterations. Minimal sharpening. Small levels adjustment. Not cropped.

Thanks for looking, and please do comment!

Not your typical firework image - thanks for that ! THe placement of foreground was a great choice and the technical aspects of the shot are superb.

Paul, thank you so very much. I was pleasantly surprised this came out as well as it did. I'm especially glad you appreciate this image as not the usual fireworks picture.

This is very, very nice David. The slow shutter speed gives it a wonderful "raining fire" effect. Well done!

Thank you, Jacob! That raining fire effect is what most draws me to this image, too. I haven't done a lot of fireworks, but it seems like longer exposures are better since fireworks are fluid and evolving, a fast shutter image has a lot more trouble capturing enough to convey the motion and development of the firework display. Just MHO, of course!
