    Oh wow Maggie – this is just totally awesome. However did you capture that effect? Absolutely amazing, my friend – oh sooooo well done!

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    I love what you’ve done with this Maggie, it looks like a painting – has great Wow factor, fantastic work :)

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    thanks trish..cant take much credit for this – pure serendipity … and the composition just shouted to be portrait so i rotated and tweaked it a bit.. but its uncropped… i suspect i was pointing more skyward by this time and the wind did the feathering.. isnt it amazing!

    grinning here .. they talk about painting with light… and the firework bods did that for sure!

    thanks hugely jan and you’re not wrong!! easy it certainly isnt! pure luck in the end plus one combo of settings seemed to be all that worked in a few isolated instances…

    Fantastic shot!
    I just wish the fireworks here in Malta would have a little more coloure too.

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    Thanks DJ.. they spend a lot on this showcase concert.. so it can be pretty colourful.. tho sometimes the gold and silver sparkly ones are the best of all..
