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.

  5. 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.

  6. they are just fantastic and happy new year.

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

  8. Stunning series of images. The composition and the reflections are just incredible.

  9. 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.
