Township Fireworks, Part 3

This third post will actually be some of my faves from the fireworks photoshoot. These are exposures that I looked at more closely after my first run through.

Some of the bursts were very big and almost seemed to loom overhead. This ↓ is the best one that I managed to catch. It almost seems like it was in front of that windmill, but it wasn't actually.

I only managed to catch one fairly big, blue burst ↓ . I like it for the colour, particularly as it goes with the lights on the  trees and windmill. This one, I confess to enlarging a bit for effect. It's not outlandish to do that in my opinion because when you focus with your eyes , you lose sight of the surroundings, and it actually seems bigger.

Finally, I loved the following mostly white burst as well as the shape. I composited it with the low burst although as I wrote earlier, I did get some photos where the low and high occurred together. I also took some license with this composite by moving the big burst up and left to give it clearance from the low burst. While I do try to keep a lot of my outdoor photos very realistic and natural, I feel no hesitancy in manipulating adjusting these kinds of photos to improve the impact.  Aside from fiddling with placement in a few cases, the actual lights are as they were, or at least as the camera saw them.

I might make one more post to depict the lows and highs occurring simultaneously.
