Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:37 pmG'day,
The first one is like the calm before the storm...
The second is great framing and the exposure is bloody terrific! The way the detail's all there in the fireground and yet the fireworks stand out like that is great...
Looks like you've got the fireworks thing nailed...

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 7:42 pmPeter I agree with Big Pix, these are an improvement over the middle batch, love #2 great sense of being there, you get the crowds the fireworks and Mr Vunerable (sp?).
#1 has a nice composition, I may have reduced the DOF a little to get the background ones a little more OOF (but that's just me).
#3 A nice fireworks shot, (are these traditional fireworks, they look different to NYE fireworks).

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:14 pmPeter, they are all great but #2 is almost perfect. If you could turn back time and shoot it in portrait with the important dude just offset to the left a touch and the top of the fireworks in the frame... Now that would be POTY for me! 
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 8:22 pmHi Peter,

André

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:03 pmGreat photos Peter. The 2nd one is the pick IMHO and the exposure is spot on.
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 10:45 pmBeautiful series Peter. I really think you have captured the essence of the event in #2. The composition and exposure are great 
cheers

Andrew - Thanks - that second shot is more luck & VR than anything else since I was working without a tripod. I framed this and hoped - got about 10 blurry pics and two good ones - of which this was the best.
Craig - it's most venerable Thanks. Not sure if they are different fireworks or not.
John - Thanks - See above comment to Andrew. I actually took a couple framed like you suggest, but all were too blurry.
André - Thanks. First pic is something you normally don't get near. These were all wired up and fed back via really long serial cables to a control station.
Mark - Thanks
Marco - Thanks to you too.
Regarding #2 - check out the original uncloned version if you haven't seen it yet on page 2 of this thread on the merits of cloning.

Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 9:44 pmBeautiful series of photos Peter. I really like the first image - as you say, it's not every day you get to see something like this. The second image is simply sensational - the viewer is drawn right into the event and you have totally nailed an extremely difficult exposure. Awesome!
