Its a composite of at least 2 images..
see the reflection around the landscape and under the fireworks..
from the smoothness of the water can tell that the landscape is shot at a much longer exposure time..then merge the fireworks pic on top which explain the roughness of water because of the fireworks burst rate..

I adjust the white balance of the photo at 7.40 pm to Incandescent mode so will have a blue color image. after that I combine the firmworks photo and the combination method I choose to be brighten. so the dark black sky will not affect the blue sky too much.

should have other better method to do this I think.

Taken 47 shots, but only 5 shots are considered slightly more special. Decided to post up 2 of them, so, please enjoy. Comments and Critiques welcomed!

Curly wily

Buoyant city

*Gotta go back next Tuesday to retake, from a different location, that is. :sweat:

I particularly like the curly wirly shot! Come to think of it. This is the 2nd year i'm trying to get the fireworks. Still have not master the art of shooting firworks with symmetry and selectivity. Perhaps can chio you guys for next years festiv al!

Thanks Focalpoint! But actually when one has been pushed to his own devices... the waterbottle becomes pretty handy! :bsmilie:

this kind of thing sometimes try luck one, i only get 10% of the shots that are really nice.. the rest all either overexposed, underexposed, or composition sala. anyway, this september might have fireworks again for the IMF event.. not very sure of the details yet.
