Fireworks!

Here is another fireworks shot from last night. I have a lot shots of the individial fireworks exploding but I like this shot because it best represents the entire scene. This shot is a composite of two shots. The upper firework was originally a seperate "firework only" shot. I felt like I needed to add it to give a better idea of what the scene was really like. The wide angle perspective on the lens I used (17-85mm) compressed the scene vertically (I was shooting in portrait orientation, 28mm, f/4.5, 1/20 sec, ISO 1600) and made it look like the fireworks were very low in the sky. The addition of the upper firework really makes the shot feel more real to me! I hope you enjoy it!
