Fireworks Over Lake Union: Pentax K-5, Pentax DA* 16-50mm f/2.8
Please click on the image to see a larger version. I had a wonderful vantage point for this year’s fireworks show over Lake Union. The skies were crystal clear; the weather was pleasantly cool; and the light show was probably the best I’ve ever witnessed. Wow! I hope you enjoy this shot.

Fabulous Mahesh! I thought this year’s fireworks were better than any we have seen.

Really cool shot, a lot there. Didn’t see the fireworks, so photo makes up for that. f/2.8–I assume that’s wide open for your camera. Fast Shutter speed???

Wonderful! It was unusual because you captured the barge and the city…not just the display.

Actually it was probably a very slow shutter speed right?

Thanks everyone! I left the shutter open (bulb mode) and had a black card infront of the lens. Every time I saw a burst, I let the card down for a fraction of a second. That’s how I was able to capture so many bursts on a single exposure.
