About Last night was the annual closing fireworks of fete de geneve. Every year, Geneve tourisme hold a week festival with different kind of programs attracting thousands of tourists to come to geneva.
One of the main program is an hour fireworks with musical background.

Last year we managed to sit close near the fireworks. But this year we thought to get different angle to the fireworks, so we went to somewhere on the hill side of the city. The good news is there the view is not bad at all, you could see the cathedral st. piere on the left.
The bad news is : to get there, you had to circle around the city (most roads near the lake were closed), you had to walk once you got what you think nice place to park, which about 2km going up and down the hill, and you could not get out after it's finished. totally traffic jam, even at almost 1 o'clock in the morning.

Even worse, (which proving am totally amateur), I forgot to bring shutter release, which is a very usefull tool for this kind of event. almost all of my 100 pictures of this fireworks are shaky .. :(( :((
anyway, among those 100 pictures, well there are 2-3 which maybe still presentable.

I hope you like it :)
thanks.

Hey Cessy,
Your Shot's make one want to travel to Geneve...I think the softness of the shot even adds interest here...Congrats again to the 'Photographer of Intrique'...

Great lighting and composition, Cessy. Wonderful moment captured. No worries about forgetting to bring the shutter-release; I am sure you will get better chances next time. Congrats :)

A beautiful display very well presented. You certainly chose the right spot. You certainly had to make a great effort but I think your results are worth it.

Hi Cessy, Very nicely saturated tones, and a good capture of the fireworks. I might've considered centering this image a bit more, as compared to the busy right hand side with all the action of the fireworks going on, the left is left a bit empty.... I like the way the fireworks reflect on the clouds, that adds alot to the image. Very well captured.

Cheers,

Hugo


cessy karina   {K:14205} 8/16/2005
hi Hugo
thank for a lovely nit pick :) really appreciate it
the reason why the fireworks on the right was to include the cathedral St. Piere on the left. it is unfortunately not too obvious, so the composition looks unbalance :(
thanks,
cessy

One of the best photographs of fireworks I've seen.

Beautiful shot Cessy .. belle image !
Et je me rends bien compte que c'est vraiment pas facile de capturer .. en voyage, j'ai essayé de capturer le foudre (sans statif, je l'avais laissé à la maison, mais j'avais mon shutter release hihi.. je l'ai pas utilisé naturellement)

En plus, la bonne place et de bonnes conditions météo (un peu de vent, mais pas trop) sont aussi importants..

Tu as bien capturé les couleurs ici, ce qui mérite ce photo-ci !
Salut,Peter
