If I expose only fireworks, that is not feel the scale of it. I choose this position considered direction of the wind. Wind flow right to left of this flame. The smoke are drifting left side under the fireworks through the trees, reflect the lights of fireworks, and picking up the silhouette outline of trees. As a result, express the scale of this fireworks. It was very spectacular scene. |
