Photography Evaluation - Long Exposure

I think that the main focus on this image is the middle of the fireworks, where it is red then turns into green.

The light in this image is all coming from the fireworks, as it was taken against the night sky, acting as a canvas for the vibrancy of the fireworks, making it stand out even though it has only been retouched slightly to make it look more vibrant, it is more of less the original image.

The lines in this image come at the bottom of the photo. It almost looks like brush strokes on a canvas to create the effect, they are light and not too heavy creating the feel of weightlessness.

Repetition within this image is at the bottom from where the fireworks hadn’t exploded and were more or less hundreds of tiny flare fireworks. Also the colours are repetitive with the greens and the oranges.

This image looks as it has been painted onto a black background because it is very flat and doesn’t have much depth.

Because fireworks are mainly light, there isn’t really much depth to this image.

There isn’t a lot of open space in this image, as it is more or less completely taken up with the fireworks it has been cropped around the sides, as there was a lot of dark sky.

The only light that is being generated in this image is at the bottom of the photo where you can see the orange fireworks and the top where the green fireworks are exploding, that is mainly the only places that are generating light.

If I were to put a Rule of Thirds grid on this image, the bottom row would feature the orange fireworks and then the rest of the rows would feature some of the fireworks.

I used a Canon 1100D with a 18-55mm lens. I didn’t use the flash when I took this image, as it isn’t required when doing a long exposure. The aperture was set at f/22 to have the number as high as possible it allows the effect to be substansial. The ISO was set at 100, which is the same as all my other firework long exposures. The shutter speed was on bulb setting and I exposed it for 30 seconds.

This image makes me feel like I’m in Florida watching the fantastic firework displays at the theme parks.

The main focus on this image is middle of the fireworks, it is obviously the beginning of the firework, right before it exploded to create the effect of it looking like a flower.

The light in this image is all coming from the fireworks, as it was taken against the black sky, that is really the only thing that stands out against the black, even though this image has been edited in Photoshop to make the fireworks look different from the original image, which it was green, and reds. And that is the only thing that has been edited.

The lines in this image come as the fireworks are exploding. It almost looks like brush strokes on a canvas to create the effect, they almost look as if they are weightless.

Repetition in this image is all over, with the effect of the fireworks creating the rain effect. Also the colours are repetitive as it is following a theme of different colours with the pinks and purples and whites.

It doesn’t have much depth to it as it looks as it has been painted against the black background of the sky.

The only light that is being generated in this image is from the fireworks. Even thought this image isn’t as vibrant as the others, I don’t think it stands out as much.

If I were to put a Rule of Thirds grid on this image, the bottom row wouldn’t feature anything, only the top and middle rows would have the fireworks featured in them.

I used a Canon 1100D with a 18-55mm lens. I didn’t use the flash when I took this image, as it isn’t required when doing a long exposure. The aperture was set at f/22 to have the number as high as possible it allows the effect of the long exposure to work when taking fireworks. The ISO was set at 100 and it was on bulb setting and exposed for 9 seconds.

I feel like when I look at the picture of the fireworks is feels like New Years Eve, because where I got to watch them you can see all of them al over Manchester and it looks kind of magical.

The main focus on this image is the streams of light at the bottom of the image; it is obviously the beginning of the firework, right before it explodes in the top part of the image.

The light in this image is all coming from the fireworks, as it was taken against the night sky, that is really the only thing that stands out against the black, even though this image has been edited in Photoshop to make it look more vibrant, it still looks like the original image which featured pink and purples.

There isn’t a lot of open space in this image, as it is more or less completely taken up with the fireworks.

The colour in this image is very vibrant, as I said before the image has been made more vibrant in Photoshop, which I think it looks better edited than the original image, I think it stands out more and looks more impressive.

If I was to put a Rule of Thirds grid on this image, the bottom of the image with the flares on would be on the bottom row, then the first flares would be on the middle row and the main explosion of the fireworks would be in the top row,

I used a Canon 1100D with a 18-55mm lens. To let it be exposed and create the effect on the image, I had it set on the bulb setting and exposed it for 25 seconds. When doing long exposure it is important to make sure that the ISO is on the lowest possible, the ISO for this image was set at 100.

When I look at these images it makes me feel like I’m watching the fireworks at the Disney theme park in Florida and it make me feel like I am on holiday, and  really enjoy watching the displays when I’m on holiday.
