light trails

another shot from the first encounter with fireworks...trial and error led quickly to the conclusion that 1 to 3 seconds is a good shutter speed to capture the colours and light trails..also that portrait format is perhaps better suited to the vertical range of the fireworks...attempting to capture the reflections did compromise the framing a bit, so will try again later this week from a vantage point on the meadow beyond this pond, with a more open view across English Bay

Nikon D90
1s f/6.3 at 75.0mm iso800 full exif

Yes, I agree the portait format is better, and some distance would to well! Anyhow a great shot and so good light! V.
