Thank you very much! I've been trying to capture fireworks for years, and only this year have liked the results. ^^

Thank you very much! Glad that you like it. This was the first time I had every successfully taken a photo of fireworks, and am glad that it came out, and can be enjoyed by others.

Thank you Keith. Fireworks are rather tricky, as I try every year to take them, and this was the only time that I was even remotely successfull in my attempts. Patience is the only thing that comes to mind when photographing these. ^^ Glad that you enjoyed it.

It's Bastille Day in a couple of days, and the weather forecast looks good. I shall have to see if anything is happening this far out into the sticks

Thank you very much! I am glad that you found it so! Took a lot of shots, but most were white 'bangs' so I am glad that one turned out quite as colorfull as this one. ^^

Sorry I took so long to getting around to comment, but here I am now! hehehe


This is so so beautiful. I'm truly impressed with the capture, great colours and sense of movement. I like the off centre composition as well, because it actually adds to that sense of movement. It's so perfect it almost looks like a fractal rather than a photo!

Nice one, as always!

Well, I'll makesure I leave it as a print for a while so you can save. And I do believe this was the best of all the fireworks that went up, it wasa quick and dull show for actually having been there. haha. Thank you.

Ha! it would take a while to save any money not because I blow it or anything. Just don't make enough.

You are very welcome!!

Thank you Marites! I am glad you love the colors, that is the only reason that I put this one up, most ofthe colors from that show were....non-existant. Most of the fireworks were white "flash-bangs" (that's how I describe them, just white 'ops' in the air that were too bright to want to look at, and too loud to care to be there for them lol)

How sweet of you!!! Maybe it's impossible but I haven't seen Diamond head yet or waikiki beach's sunset too much I guess
I'm just kidding ... I know you're very busy with your job. Nice to catch you here again

nemisis11 In reply to Emane-M [2007-07-09 09:39:35 +0000 UTC]

I will go to Diamond Head, possibly next weekend for you then. And most of my sunsets are either at Waikiki, or at Wainai. (I still can't spell it, though it's my favorite place here. lol) And I wouldn't offer unless I felt that I would have the time to do it, so be warned, I will have some pictures from diamond head up soon, and a new sunset picture of Waikiki, both being dedicated to you.

And it is nice to be caught on here by you Not very often that I stay here long enough to have a conversation with anyone, but tend to be gratefull when I am. (note to self...find your IM so I can catch you sometime when I can't get to dA lol)

hehe, it is pretty! The joy of 5 second exposures is that you can capture many a-firework and get all the colors that show up as well..most of those different hues I missed with my own eye while watching the show. hehe.

how did you get the colours so birght?


when i take pics at night the colour is so dull

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nemisis11 In reply to punk-godess [2007-07-11 05:56:27 +0000 UTC]

Hm, bright colors are due to long exposure at a low aperature I do believe. ^^ With a faster shutter speed, less colors are captured..thus making a picture apear to be 'dull'
