Happy New Year to you too! Excellent job capturing the fireworks. I have tried several times without success. I am not going to give up though lol. The clarity and DOF and POV are excellent. The colors are clear and bright. Makes we want to look up and view them myself. Thanks for sharing!

Supergold,

I really love this shot of fireworks that you were able to capture
for your new year's greeting! It has nice colors and clear lines
and I know how challenging capturing fireworks can be. I have
not had a good one yet.

Very impressive and thank you for your good wishes for the
new year as well,

Linda

Fred,
Bonne Annee to you. A beautiful display of fireworks exploding in the dark sky & lighting it up with stars of red & white. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Happy New Year Fred and wonderful firework image. I didn't take my camera to our display as it was still in the high (30's Celsius) 90's F at midnight and carrying camera and tripod was too difficult. Very sharp focus with great clarity. :) Mary

Comment from snowblaze
Love the pink colors against that black-black sky! (You certainly see a a lot of fireworks displays!) The image is crisp and sharp. It somewhat feels 'disjointed' however... with partial fireworks at both top and bottom.

Nice capture Fred! Love the colors, exposure and fine details in this wispy seedpod like fireworks. I may have cropped out the bottom ones, but that is me always trying to tidy things up! New year..same ol me! =)
Happy New Year! =)

Happy New Years to you and all your compatriots. A very nice shot. I like the length of the trails in the exploding fireworks. Great colors and nice composition.
