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!
