Well done, Anglo Large Clawed Otter. Did you do any post processing on this?
IIRC, I sharpened it a bit, but I believe this one maintains the original exposure level. Temperature may also have been tweaked slightly. I'm finally starting to get more comfortable with shooting Manual mode on my new Canon 40D, and am really enjoying what it is producing.
A few shots from one of my room's windows at the Sylvia Hotel on English Bay in Vancouver during the international fireworks competition, Celebration of Light. This was from the Team USA display.
Wow, Abby, nice pics of the fireworks. Did you plan to be there, or was it pure chance you had such a view?
Thank you, boxo!
It was a bit serendipitous, actually. I didn't know the fireworks were on when I called the hotel and they told me they had a last-minute cancellation, although the rate would be higher than usual. I said I'd take it, as it sounded like fun. And it was a lot of fun!
