Celibration of Light

Kayaker At Sunset
This year I only got the chance to see one set of fireworks.  I've taken a lot of photo of fireworks so doing something new is hard, but I like a bit of a challenge.  Last year I noticed some nice wide angle shots before the smoke built up that I didn't have the lens to capture so I started with wide angle shots.

I also wanted to try "macro" work - taking tight shots into the fireworks.  Exposure on film is a pain but with digital you can tune pretty quickly.

After a while the smoke was too thick so I started doing traditional barge + top type shots.  These are the classic shots that I made in the past.

And finally on the walk home, I noticed a thick congregation of boats coming up false creek after the fireworks were over.  I got out the tripod and took some longer shots.  Lots of fun!
