Happy New Year 2009!

Happy new year to all my readers, friends and family. Lets hope that this one will be a much better one than 2008. This is the year that I “break it” as a pro photographer ;) These fireworks were taken at our favourite “secret” viewing location, under the Bolte Bridge, looking over to the Docklands. Technical info below the pics.

These photos were taken between f11 and f16, all at ISO100 and shutter speeds from 5sec to 30sec.

Rippa! Wish I knew where I could get a view like that in Sydney.

Happy New Year! Hope it’s a better one for you and Naomi.

Happy New Year Neil! I’d love to spend a New Year’s Eve in Australia and be one of the first to welcome in the new year. Maybe one day. Lovely photographs.

Happy New Year Neil! Great shots. The reflections in the water are amazing. There are no flares… was using ISO100 what prevented them?

Great photos Neil. Thanks for the tips on the night. It made for a good result with my pics.

@ Danielle: Neil recommended that an f-stop of F11 or better would help control the flares.

I hope I am not being rude in asking but what exposure was that first shot. It is simply an amazing shot.
Cheers,

Graham
