Fire Works

Thank you Gabby

Thank you much appreciated. The image was captured in bulb exposure for 2 min with the lens covered with card and removed to expose each burst for approx 4 seconds.The process was repeated until I guessed i filled the frame.

I think the greens are the brightest reflection because they were the lowest to the water.

Thank so much and your welcome :)

Thank you Ray for your comment.Ok from memory I shot manual bulb approx 2 min, iso 100-400, manualyl focus on something approx the same distance you expect the fireworks to be, set a depth of field you roughly capture the whole set (purely guess work) a good solid tripod is a must, shutter release cable or a remote is a must, i always use a lens hood even at night to bloke out unwanted lens flare, i cover the lens with a small bit of card without actually touching the lens hood, experience has taught me the best exposure for a firewoks burst is approx 4 seconds, watch and wait for the burst then remove the card then recover & repeast this process till you think you have nicely filled the frame. Dont over do it or it will end up looking like a big mangles mess. I hope this helps

Your welcome! It takes a bit of practice to get the feel for it.

Thank you Anibal. A long exposure with cardboard used between each burst. It wasnt quite as impressive as I have made it look. All captured in camera with just a vibrance boost in photoshop.
