This was the first time that I've actually been able to pull off decent fireworks shots. It was a fantastic show... Happy New Year! 1 2 3 4 5 6
The silhouettes of the crowd and the bridge make #1 stand out for me. The green light given off by the fireworks make it stand out for me a bit more over #6. I'm curious as to what settings you used for #3 & 4, they have interesting colour and detail (that I personally have had no luck with in my shots, lol)
I like the silhouettes also. You had a spectacular view, and used it in the best way possible, by getting some awsome pictures ! Really love the shape of #5, just something about it.
Great job. I also love #1 with the bridge below the fireworks. You were in just the perfect spot for this type of photo.
I like #6 the best because the people in the foreground and the bridge in the middleground are silhouetted. The others are good too :thumbup:
Excellent shooting Wendy. Im diggin this series. 1, 4 and 6 are my fave. Well done. :thumbup::thumbup:
Thanks for all the comments! I was constantly changing the settings as I was shooting. Some of the fireworks weren't as bright, so they needed a longer exposure, whereas others filled the sky and I had to readjust to avoid overexposure. It was actually a really fun challenge!
