[laungmai]

I thought I'd share this photo after seeing this "thread.




info: taken: Buskers Festival
No tripod.
Exposure: 1 sec

FYI, I haven't had the time to touch up the photo - I will be getting rid of that ugly green spot in the middle

I love fireworks photos. If you hadn't told me what the green dot was, I would have thought it was intentional. Rather than deleting it, maybe crop the photo a bit to put the center of that swirl and the green dot down and right (in line with a "rule of thirds" intersection).

You could also clone the green dot and center it more in the swirl of fireworks to make it look a little more intentional.

Nice picture, and you have quite a steady hand to get the lamp in the background so sharp with a handheld 1sec exposure.

thanks for the feedback perhaps i will take the note down. Lets keep the green dot afterall.

Newbie, it isn't that steady. I have lowerpo sling camera bag (http://www.lowepro.com/Products/Sling_Bags/) that I simply love. I sling over and make it tighter and prop my camera ontop of it to act as stablizaer.

here is a larger view of the photo, it actual is a bit more impressive larger
