Hi guys! I need your help here. I took this photo last May 21st. It was the opening of this mall, the biggest so far in our country. My brother was the supplier of the fireworks that day and I took the opportunity to take some photos. The show started around 7PM. The lights were not shot off. I plan to give this to my brother as a present.

Settings: Shutter speed: bulb
Aperture: 11
ISO: 200

Used tripod, remote switch, no flash fired.

Let me know if the font works for you. If the border is just right. The actual size of this is 12x15 inches in tiff form. Do you think this would really make 450++MB file size?

Thanks for viewing and looking forward reading your comments.

Cheers!

Nice! If you could get rid of the red firework in the globe, otherwise NICE!

Your brother will love it, but you might want to think of getting rid of the srteetlight on the left.

I know that nothing can be done about this now, but I would have liked to see the complete red burst at the top of the frame.

Also, there seems to be just a bit too much black sky on the right.

Nice fireworks, though.

Thanks for your comments guys!

Profzinc: I think there will be lots of editing if I remove the red fireworks infront of the globe. :P I'll check other photos without that red fireworks obstructing. :P

Rad: Yeah, I would love to remove that streetlight! :P I positioned myself at the left sidewalk, to the right of the is the street. And if I go back a bit, I will capture overhead electric cables. So I was restricted to the distance. When the show was about to start, all the passing cars were stopped, I have to opportunity to relocate to the street but didnt have enough time to go to the middle of the street. :( I hated it when the fireworks lit way over the top frame! I concentrated to capture the whole building (landscape).

Cheers!

Hiya Square!

So they finally opened the "Mall" I was in Manila in December-January and it was a shame that they were not open just yet. Had to settle for a drive-by. I still have issues about how they will get the people to the "Mall" when it isn't a major thoroughfare for public transport... Oh well, I guesss that they will sort that out in due time.

Rad & Prof have said what needs saying. PS the lamp post out of the pic... though not sure how you will modify the globe. Good luck.

Cheers!

Thanks John! Yeah, the mall was supposed to open last december but they encountered some delays. Did you hear about the story that a bridge inside gave way? hehehe Well, that story is not confirmed. BTW, when I was there last sunday, there were PUBs going around the mall, I guess they were able to make an arrangement to lure customers into that mall. I didnt bother to go in the mall that day. The place was jammed packed! It was traffic! I went there just to take photos. :P

I'll try working some PSing later and see how it goes.

Here are some more photos.
