Thanks Sakura & Monika :) I was surprised how many "keep" shots I was able to get but this one just stands out from the rest. I won't forget this new years in a hurry, was simply beautiful.

cheers,

Your other pictures are amazing, too, Mr Magoo.

Thankyou Monika for your kind words. I enjoy being able to share my photographs and being able to apprecate the work that other people produce. I love your "waterworld" image - fantastic! :)

ACreepingMalaise says:

Great shot, I can't seem to get a look at the larger version. (damn network)

I am looking hard to find a problem with it, I would like to say that fireworks are "over photographed", but the angle here is so nice that I don't think I can say that.

I want to deduct a piont for something, Damn you and your perfect shot, but I can't bring my self to do it.

10/10

enjoy it, I don't give out a lot of those.

Great work! One of the more unique fireworks shots I've seen. It really captures the 3-dimensional quality of the fireworks display.

ephemerion says:

An interesting angle on Fireworks, the vantage point makes it appear more like strange flowers. Exposure seems nicely done, and you've composed it nicely. Good work

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5.5/7 ranking.

WOW.

How on earth did you get this angle? Which building were you in?

Great angle, great subject, great exposure - even the secondary subject of the freeway is awesome.

Obviously not handheld!!!! Fireworks, I have found are very difficult to capture, you have done an excellent job here, especially like the traffic streaks, kinda like fireworks of a different kind.

Kudos.

MiRea says:

Ooooh, so close, nevertheless,

Congratulations!

Ditching the highest and lowest score you get a total of 34 out of 35 in the MiRea's Realm Group.

There is no higher place your picture ever wanted to be!

torontofotobug says:

Wow, impressive. You get some great mileage out of your 30D. I just started shooting Canon this past spring and I love it. You're an inspiration.
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Mr Magoo ICU says:

This was actually before I purchased my 30D - this is the 300D I had beforehand. 6.3mp doesn't allow me to blow it up so big in print size but its still one of my favourite shots. Thanks torontofb - your comments are much appreciated.

Camera: Canon EOS 300D Digital
Exposure: 4 sec (4)
Aperture: f/25
Focal Length: 30 mm

Please come and join us at www.flickr.com/groups/fireworkexcellence

I have decided there is a need for a place to display Top quality firework photographs

This group will be by invitation only, all photographs will be screened by the Administators to ensure only the best shots make it into the pool.

There are thousands of Pyro shots on flickr which unfortunately swamp the really good material so it is our mission to make this a place of Excellence in Pyrotechnics

Found your photo through Past Picture, but your photo seems to have the wrong "Taken on" date, so it's showing up under the wrong year.

Went to a massive effort this year to get somewhere good, it took 2 hours to get in place, and then I notice one barge on the river, no building fireworks either... A very big disappointment

Then 10 news tells me the gold coast had an epic display.
