Fireworks

Esta foto es impresionante, vaya explosión de luz, color y nivel de talle, me gusta mucho. Gracias por visitar y comentar mi fotillo que es de una sola expo pero con procesado posterior en PS.

 

saludos!

This was taken on July 4th 2008 from a spot overlooking lake Union in Seattle. At that

point smoke from the fireworks was all around, which is a little bit distracting. But that's

also the moment when you see the nicest fireworks!

 

Comments and ratings are very welcome!

Best fireworks shot I have seen so far this year. Very cool. Best wishes-Jim

One of best firework! Well done.

Very nice capture of the climatic moment. Great color and the smoke adds to the shot. It is intriguing the way the fireworks seem to dwarf the city and the boats. Well done, thanks for posting. -- Charles

Great vantage point to shoot from! If the shot were purely of fireworks in the sky, yes, the smoke could have been a negative, but from this angle, with the spread of the harbour and city carpeting the frame it just adds more atmosphere, colour and 'flair'. Great shot!

Thank you all for your comments!

 

I wasn't quite sure about the smoke lingering around all the lights. This is my second attempt at shooting fireworks and had to take a few shots until I got it right!

 

Thanks again for stopping by!!

Fabulous !! May I request you to disclose the technical aspects e.g. shutter speed, f value,ISO, Tripod etc.? Regards

Thanks for your interest Susmit.

 

Obviously this was shot with a tripod. I didn't have a shutter release at that moment so I set up the camera in shutter priority to 2 sec and let the camera decide on aperture. This was a 2 sec f14 iso1600. I wish I'd had the shutter release (now I do!), as I could had used bulb mode and decide when to trigger the shutter, instead of using the camera self-timer.

 

hope it helps!
