What looked like a really great visual performance last night but annoyingly I was stuck in the middle of all the crowds. I was told that I wouldn’t need a press pass to get good shots… It just annoyed me seeing such a fantastic display and not being able to do a thing to photograph it. I left the 70-200 at home because I didn’t think I would need it. So I was stuck in the middle of kids on shoulders, camera phones and random heads.

  • Hah, people taking fireworks photos with cell phone cameras. Kinda reminds me of people using flashes at nighttime baseball games, or taking handheld photos of the moon. I hope that works out well for them.
  • While I do feel that this photo works, it was a 30-45 minute performance with dancers. I was simply too far away to photograph them and blocked by peoples heads. I only really got a few nice shots at the end when the fireworks went off. The majority of the event was lost.
  • Garp
    Got to agree, the people being there gives it context, makes it more natural seeming rather than "ohh look at the pretty lights" :)
  • "So I was stuck in the middle of kids on shoulders, camera phones and random heads" ... and it makes the shot. A nicely balanced image.
