Balloon Festival Fireworks

Albuquerque, NM view map

Another one of the displays from the last "After Glow" fireworks show from the 2013 Albuquerque International Balloon Festival.
The diffraction spikes on the report bursts from the fireworks are from the stopped-down 16-35 f2.8 lens (f/13 for this shot),
just in case you were wondering if I was being creative in Photoshop.

Super fireworks shot, Sam. I really like the inclusion of the foreground ad being able to see the smoke. The diffraction spikes are nice too. Just out of curiosity how long was this exposure? V

eye-popping scene...the spikes make the bursts resemble feathers...the light on the smoke adds another plane of interest..V
