I agree with Jeppo, it would be so wonderful for everyone to live in peace, for I know that deep down, that is everyone’s dream.

Excellent capture and timing Ike, with superb color and presentation.

Happy BD to your land, and may others join with you the right to peace and happiness.

Hi Ike
whats really interesting about this photo are the puffs of red smoke. I think when we watch fireworks, we don't see that smoke like we do here in the close-up.
even at 1/4 of a second, its long enough to have that nice visual effect.
Cheers
Craig

Hi Ike,

The subject is well framed. Using an ISO of 80 and a slow shutter speed are allowing me to see the details and colors of the fireworks. They also have a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Good MOrning Ike,

I just love this!
It explodes from the screen and we can almost see movement as the white streams head towards the corners, leaving behind the dense red smoke!It is a fine symbol of the joy of festival.

Have another lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,

Congratulations with the 64th Independence of Israel, I know of the first years of your country with the English soldiers in the area.
Firework makes you better with a tripod and 5seconds exposure time Ike, but I like your picture lovely with the colors.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

adramad (27556) 2012-04-26 2:53

I love it.

All the best.
Luis.

Hello dear Ike

Happy birthday to your country and happy TE birthday to YOU! It's you're 4th right? What fun we've had. And hopefully there'll be many more years to come. You took a great photo, difficult to make tehnically, but really excellent in terms of colour and exposition. I like how the firework takes up the entire screen.

Thanks for sharing and AUGURI once again

my city was founded in 1948 too.
very beautiful detail of these fireworks, I tried to take shots like this but I ever got weak results, maybe it will be better with my new camera,haha.
very nice the colors and lines, good sharpness and sense of moment.

hugs

mirosu (5533) 2012-08-01 10:09

Hi Ike,
A wonderful shot. Excellently "frozen" firework action. Excellent light effect, perfect motion capture. Well done.

jcpix (3331) 2012-11-17 18:45

Not always an easy thing to capture, fireworks can be quite challenging but you've managed to do so with clarity so as create a very nice image. I like the fact that it's a tight composition, it really fills the frame in every direction and has that ever bold red color, but not overpowering. Great exposure to grab all of the details. You obviously have other things of more importance happening at this point in time, but I hope that TE helps you escape from that for at least a little bit. Be well Ike!
