reddit.comThey were at midnight this year? I'm not in town but I had a tradition to see them every year before they were moved to 9pm. This would be good news!

Great photos! Churchill Square was absolutely packed and the fireworks were definitely worth the trip.

It was a nice night for sure, first time I've actually gone down to Churchill Square for new years. Every other time in my life I remember the night has always been like sub -20 and that cold scared me away. :)

Great click!! How did you manage to capture so clearly?
Thank you. :)
For clear fireworks like these, taking your photos from a tripod is essential. Second most important thing is to use a remote to trigger the exposures, so you don't jostle the camera during the long-exposure times necessary (a few seconds generally, but I use bulb mode instead). Setting focus to infinity at the beginning and then switching off auto-focus is another important aspect.
Man!! Amazing. Wish I had seen you in action.
The fireworks last night were amazing!
