New Year's Fireworks @ Marina Promenade

[sentinel_006]

Here's my take to share with you all. Didn't manage to get the finale very well cos seems my location is too near. The lens simply not wide enough at 28mm equiv.

Here's some of the finale.

Excellent Images....

Someone told me that this is really good quality fireworks shots.

Can share with us your exif info for each shot. Just shutter speed and f/stop will be fine...

Thanks

[GeckoZ]

the last photo is the best! the only beauty IMO.

nice shot, clean, clear and crisp

[Parka]

The ones from the buildings are good.
Something very different from the usual fireworks.

TS, maybe you could try to expose the buildings better. (open up the aperture a stop larger?)
Good effort overall. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, though so too. But I did face a problem, if I expose an aperture larger, I were afraid that the fireworks may be over-exposed since I were so near to them. Yeah, the CBD backdrop would make for an interesting background. Thanks.

All taken at ISO100 using Nikon D80 and kit lens, manual focus. I also used a cable release which I find useful as I am able to follow the timing of the fireworks better. Thanks.

Not to worry about blowing out the fireworks. Here are some of my shots. Most (if not all) of them were taken at f/8. Noticed that all of your shots were taken from f/13 onwards.

Whether the fireworks will get blown out at F/8 depends very much on how close you're to the fireworks, the intensity of fireworks bursts and also whether they're overlapping ....in addition to other camera settings for exposure.

A smaller aperture will of course give a finer (i.e. thinner) fireworks trails which would help in avoiding overlapping fireworks blown out.
