Fireworks

[Poider]

G'day, just took some shots of fireworks, they were not the best as I forgot tripod and was in a rush, I joined a couple of the best with photoshop and would like some opinions on how natural the composition looks

Thank you

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "how natural the composition looks". I think it is an interesting photo, I like the different colours on the dark. My eye keeps getting drawn to the red firework, probably because it is the most compact and brightest. The other fireworks are haphazardly scattered around the photo, but that is what one would expect from fireworks. The slight fuzzy-ness of the "light trails" works in your favour here, though I think it could have been nice to see a longer exposure on this which would bring more light/colour to the photo, but as you said, you didn't have a tripod available. Hope this helps.

What i meant by natural is that this photo is actually 5 differentt photos put together in ps and am wondering does it look that way

To me it looks as if was taken that way.

Not bad at all considering it was hand held and you could have the longer shutter necessary to capture the trails of the fireworks. I've never attempted to shoot fireworks (yet), but I've heard it can be quite tricky.

I wasn't planning to take fireworks but I could hear them out the side of my house and thought I would give it a go, near the end I put the camera in continous mode and got some good ones, Next time I will set up with tripod and shoot some longer exposures
