Last Saturday was freaking hot. Hotter than I thought. Köln came so alive. With million people waited for the fireworkshow, we were so lucky to came early and had a good spot.
For me it was something special. This was my second time I went to see this high altitude firework show. Last year was great but this year was greater. The themes was the History of Cologne. Plus the music that was snycronised with this show was the "Story Teller"of the night. Very well composed and most of us like it. In fact this was the 7th Light of Cologne and this is the first time they composed a music for such event.(before this they just played popular songs at that time or the evergreen Classical Music , if im not mistaken)
Personally I am not satisfied with my photos.
I think they were too bright and soft.
I used 12-24mm lens to capture the huge fireworks in the air. The fireworks always in the center, and later crop it when necessary.
I did some editing. Sometime I level down or up and even applied warm filter to my pixs.
O btw i used remote trigger(wire) while i photographing this event so that i can enjoy the
show without sneaking thru the camera's viewfinder.
Overall I must say I had a great day. Tq my frens (Iwan, Paktam and Shila) for that surprise birthday party right after the show..sweet memory..thanks guys.
