Hi all.
Fireworks taken at the Benson & Hedges International fireworks competition
in Montreal a long time ago.
Lots of trials and errors but I've settle for a few seconds at F8
with 100 ISO Kodak VPS 160.
Camera Rollei SLX with 80mm F/2.8 lens with tripod of course.

I have several fireworks shots that I attempted one year. Here is one:

Looks like movie pyro.

Yes, pretty much. They advertised having "simulated nuclear explosions".
This shot was a simulated bombing run from a B-52, but the fake nukes were amazing.

Hi all.
I like to do night shots, here are a few that I like.

Reminds me of the one I got the other day.
These are "glow stick necklaces" twirled by the kiddies at the fireworks display.

The street in front of our hose with my sister in law.

Photo taken 25 years ago from my hotel room in Vancouver.
It's a double exposure with slight movement.

Hi all.
A few more long exposure pictures.

Photo taken a very long time ago at " La Ronde " amusement park in Montreal, Canada.

Ditto

For this one, I am not sure, but I think it was taken at Dam Sen Park in Saigon.

Hi Guy. Nice shots. I took some similar to your carousel image:

Hi gnuyork.
Your pictures have something better than mine,
you can see the chairs.
The chairs on my pictures were not illuminated,
therefore, they did not record on the film.

Well, business affairs have me back in Turkey and Europe. I'm hoping to send some images back along the way.

Took these last August, and wanted to add to the fireworks/night photography pictures shared here.

Spending a few days in the mountain city of Konya, Turkey. Konya is the home of the great poet, Jalaluddin Rumi, who has become quite famous in the west in the last two decades. Perhaps some of you have heard of him. If not... check him out. Lovely and inspiring, thought provoking translations. Konya is also famous in Turkey for its hard candy and large outdoor bazaars. Here's a couple of snaps:
