Scion, shouldn't there be a reflection of the fireworks in the water? or were you zoomed in?

Maybe not long enough of an exposure?

waaait a minute, just the speed of light reflecting off the water into the camera's lens couldn't possibly make it an exposure issue, certainly not at 1/25...

You can see a slight glimpse of yellow in the bottom of the frame in the water. The reflection was just below that, out of frame.

These things go about 50 km/h over the water! Really awesome!

As Sauc pointed out, it was just out of frame. I did take some that have the reflection, none that are stellar but I will evaluate them and they might be coming to a General Photography Competition soon...

Whoa, vibrant colours much? beautiful!

Whoa, vibrant colours much? beautiful!

thankyousir, the trick is to try to get it on a very sunny day but when a light cloud goes over so it doesnt overexpose the detailed areas. Flowers are low in appeal because of their limited subject matter but still.. if you get a colourful depth of field behind it with some fairly good detail on the flower itself via macro it can work out ok. For every 1 good photo there's 20 scrapped ones. But I hope to get some more interesting photos in the next few weeks to enter.. I've still got some good ones from the airshow but dont want to bore people..

its nice, but not as nice as ur last entry. the blacks doesn't looks so black, maybe more contrast will fix it? or play around with Offset under Exposure tool, that will help too.
