Fireworks

I recently kind of botched up some fireworks shots, but I actually thought this one was pretty cool. C&C appreciated as always.

Shoot... I thought I was in the General GALLERY. Can I get a mod to move this? Very sorry.

haha, well, thanks? I'll take that as a compliment I guess.

On your shots...

You used a much wider aperature than I did. You were at like F8, I was at like F22. I was trying to be cutesy and get the star effect (which I did get on this particular shot), but it had the added effect of making my light traces paper thin, and in a lot of cases made the fireworks look more like drawings than explosions of light and FIAH.

You also don't have your contrast up as high as mine I don't think... cranking up the contrast a bit removes the smoke trails and such (or at least minimizes it).

I did like your shots, btw... I just think they need a bit of tweaking in Photoshop.
