A very busy fireworks photo

I don’t really like when a photo is soo busy. There is just too much going on and you don’t know what to focus your eyes on. But since I chochen the spot to take the shot from over the city, of course that’s how it turned out.

This is another shot from the St. Stephens day fireworks last week. This one is a single exposure, split into two and then blended back together in Photoshop.

And here are a few details. You can clearly see all the people lining the streets around the Danube river here.

Green and golden fireworks

I’m just tired today. Had a bit stressfull day and I think I caught the cold somewhere. So no long post today, just a quick one. Here is another photo from the St. Stephens Day fireworks, this time I went with a green and golden one. I really like when each of my fireworks photos goes into a different color. I even push the white balance, and the tint of the shadow, to enhance this color.

Red and green fireworks

Let’s do one more photo from the St. Stephens fireworks today. Originally I wanted to do an article today, but in the end, got a bit busy and those take more time. So instead, just a new photo. For this one, I have chosen one with bit more different colors, green and red. Actually, there were many of those there, as green, red and white are the colors of the Hungarian flag.

Even more fireworks

Let’s do one more fireworks shot. This one was taken close to the finish of the fireworks show when they were many explosions at once. I quickly had to change the camera settings, as they were so bright, all my shots were coming out very overexposed. Actually, when I take fireworks photos, I change the settings often, based on how the photos I’m getting looks like.

Fireworks over the Danube in Budapest

As I mentioned yesterday, let’s do another photo of the St. Stephen’s Day fireworks today. I really had a great view, to see all of them at once. Maybe just form the castle to the left would be a nicer view. But it’s really hard to get a good spot there. The number of people in the city was huge, and a lot of spots are closed off during the fireworks.

Even the spot I got, under the Citadel, was only by luck. I got there 2 hours before the fireworks, and from my experience, that should have been enough. But to my surprise, the area was already full of people with cameras and tripods. Only by pure luck, a lady was leaving from this spot and I managed to put my tripod there. Next time I’m going even earlier.
