Here are four firework images, two primary photos accompanied by two art variations which mashup the two photos. The fireworks were on the Fourth of July, on the South Mall in Albany, New York. In the two primary photos, the fireworks are exaggerated by special effects created by shaking and zooming the camera.
To do this technique, exposures are set to 1-2 seconds (or whatever you want to try). The firework is tracked through the viewfinder, At the moment you anticipate the explosion (or at any other time depending on which scene or moment you wish to capture), the shutter release button is pressed. You then have a second or two (or whatever shutter speed you set) to create the special effects. Swirling and flowing effects are created by shaking the camera. The camera and lens are kept generally centered on the firework, but they are shaken or swirled around the center as much as you choose and as long as the shutter allows. The shaking can be small and jittery or broad and sweeping, slow and arcing or fast and staccato. Zoom and perspective effects are created by zooming the lens. If the zoom on your lens is a rotating ring (as most are), you will have to rotate the ring back and forth while the shutter is open. For these two examples, the lens was a Vivitar 200mm zoom telephoto which has a sliding barrel instead of a rotating ring, a feature particularly useful for these creative firework images. The best effects come from shaking and zooming simultaneously. Combining zooming and shaking with the intrinsic forms, trajectories, colors, and other visuals of the explosion can create fascinating images.
The two art variations are mashups of the two fireworks. In the first, the white radial and the red swirly images are superimposed on each other for an entirely different effect. It suggests a comet or fireball, and to enhance that concept, the second variation adds a true fireball to the center. The round object is the sun, a photo from SOHO, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, a satellite sponsored by NASA and ESA, studying the sun and monitoring solar weather since 1995.

This is the extend of my Independent day firework show (although they're not real firework) but it's one of the best show I've seen in years because of the people I was with! :)
Joy at the end of the happiest week on the island.
The week has history back to the 1800s but officially it was started in 1948 to help celebrate the reunion of the island and it's rightful inhabitants.
The final day of the Week (Saturday) is finished with a Torchlight Procession from the Town Hall to the Butes where all the torches are piled together in a vast bonfire and the skies are illuminated by the magnificent firework display
righto, first off, big appologies for not being on here recently, just aint had time, been rele busy :(
plus all the sunsets im stuck in the office or locked college computer room. and sunrises dont relly happen so they;';re off.
so its down to boring macros in n around my house, or night shots. its too cold for night shots and i get bored of macros.
plus i got websites to sort for people, the huge before xmas rush for crap college (as i've renamed it) and most of all work, every spare day im at work now (well, only a good thing in the current fincanail world)
after all that, it dont leave much photos from me lately. and also means i've not logged in much to see your streams, leave comments n check thru the groups.
