November 2024 - Firework in Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong
About the Image(s)
Location for viewing annual firework in Hong Kong has always been on-land.
Recent few years , the harbour has been opened to allow public viewing on pleasure boats.
My friend invited me to come along for the occasion (1st October).
I have always been taking firework pictures on land .This is my first time trying recording on a boat which is in constant slow motion.
I tried several shutter speeds and eventually came down to1/80 to 1/100 with No motion blurring effect.
This picture showed the 3 stations igniting the fire work , a few other boats in front of our small one and the 2 iconic buildings on the flank-- easily recognised by the locals.
