Honda Celebration of Light is one of the biggest events in Vancouver. Every year there will be three teams competing with each other. This year's participants are India, Canada, and Croatia. I was in Seattle last Saturday when India was performing their firework.
Fortunately, I didn't miss yesterday's one which was Canada. I arrived to the location (Granville Bridge) 2 hours before the firework. By that time, there were so many photographers on the bridge setting up their gears.
Throughout the firework show, I used Fujifilm's app to control my shutter release. It worked perfectly and I could control my exposure from 2 to 10 seconds. I think the hardest part of taking firework shots is the timing before pressing the shutter and releasing the shutter. I realized that 5 to 8 seconds are the sweet spot :)

Even deeper into my archives...This is a scan from an old, old photo - elephant camp not too far from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Taken in 1999.
Just some info in case you are wondering what elephant camp is. There are less than 3000 elephants in Thailand today and logging is pretty much all they do. They are trained to do it in several elephant camps around the country and they are really good at it - much better than tractors and cables because of the complicated terrain. Elephants are trained for 20 years before they're ready to work as experienced loggers. At the age of 20 they start working and retire around 60...just like people. During the working day, they have regular work hours, lunch hour, and rest periods. Asking if they like their job is like asking if horses like carrying people around, or if mule likes working in the field. This is what elephants traditionally do in Thailand, they are part of the culture and they are loved and well taken care of anywhere you go.
