Sumida River Fireworks Festival

Canon EOS 6D, Tamron SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1：1 VC USD,  Kenko DIGITAL TELEPLUS PRO300 2X DGX (180mm, f/8, 1.3 sec, ISO-250)

I managed to photograph what is called "flower in the sky" for the first time.

The filming location was perfect. In the beginning, I thought the location was along the river. As soon as we arrived, my friend invited us to the top of a building with 360 degree views of Tokyo. It was a really nice place to see the fireworks of both Asakura and Ryougoku.

I somewhat brushed up the fireworks photography technique below. I will keep brushing up the technique more, and will summarize it on the blog someday.

• F-value of 8 to get clear image of landscape.
• Exposure time of around 1 second to show lines of fireworks, but prevent too much camera shake.
• ISO of less than 400 to get high-quality picture.
• Tripod to prevent camera-shake. The lower the better to prevent shake by wind.
• Release to prevent camera-shake when shooting.

Now, please enjoy the selected photos of the fireworks!

Some of  the fireworks really looked like flowers. Thanks for enjoying my photos!
