P52-5-5 Subject – Fireworks/Fire
Posted By: Tsukiouji, 12-30-2012, 03:05 PM

With the New Year celebration is steadily closing in I cannot help but to announce Fireworks as a new theme, as I'm quite sure these would be seen virtually anywhere.
Anyway, there would be Fire as a weeks sub-theme, if anybody feels it to be more appealing.

Please, take extreme caution in dealing with fireworks, protect yourself and your equipment if shooting close.

Some tips to consider:
How to Photograph Fireworks Displays
How to Photograph Fireworks

(Photos for the Week #5 competition are to be taken between Dec 31, 2012 and Jan 6, 2013.
Prolonged till Jan 13.)

Rules
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-5 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

I took a bunch on New Years Day (fireworks were delayed one day due to weather). I really had to butcher this one to find something presentable.

Making the Flame Visible



Well, this was a surprisingly difficult one to accomplish. We don't have New Year's fireworks up here, and we don't have a woodstove or fireplace. This shot is a demonstration of the height of the flame from a Trangia alcohol (spirits) stove, my camping cooker. I set up in my kitchen and turned out the lights. In daylight, you don't see the flame.

Thanks for extending Tsakatsaka. I've been rather busy, and though I have taken a few fireworks shots, I have not had the time to process them, and then I also went for a week holiday to the Kruger Park. The internet connection there is horrendously slow, and I concluded that I will not have the time to participate in this challenge. So, I am glad for the extension

Ah, all of my pictures of fire are from spring/summer when I am up at the cottage. No Fire around right now hehe
Don't think we're allowed to have fireworks this time of year
