This, obviously, is a shot of fireworks exploding. This was taken on a Saturday at 7:00PM on the Mall of Asia. Let me tell you something… We don’t have this in Davao. Fireworks are not allowed in Davao. The mayor forbids any form of fireworks to be brought in, sold, or ignited within Davao City’s limits. It’s kinda hard for the Chinese community since this is one of their tradition and belief. I kinda miss fireworks. I am very fascinated about it. I like how it is choreographed to explode in a rythm. I love how the colors mixed. I even like the smell of the explosive powder. So if you see me during a fireworks display, I’ll probably be giggling like a school girl so don’t bother me.
This shot… well I don’t remember much of it. I took this on the night of the day that we bought the camera. I was about as savvy with it’s function as I am dextrous with my left hand. Anyway, I would leave the shot details to the EXIF data below. As for post processing, I cropped it, made the sky darker and removed a lot of noise. I increased the saturation a bit. I sort of cheated got in between the lines and removed the smoke and light that leaked.
