All the best for 2013 !

Great photo, and happy new year to all IIS'ers.

This photo is now IOTW (http://www.iceinspace.com.au).

Hi Peter - What was your exposure/aperture/iso settings? I tried doing this last night and the fireworks were either over-saturated or exposure was too short to capture the whole display.

[Peter Ward]

Gee. I'm surprised at the feedback. Thanks guys. Have a great 2013!

My prognostication is: this will be the year of the Comet!



Canon 5d Mk III ISO 200, F8, 11 seconds.



Well there is a surprise! I didn't see it as worthy...more of a holiday snap..... but hey, thanks Mike for the tip 'o the hat :)

P.S.
While we did indeed have a harbour view...make sure you insist on a room above the 14th floor at either the Four Seasons or Shangri La to ensure a perfect view.... ;)

very Nice Peter - HYE to you and your family. my family were at bangaroo to view the fireworks - not quite as plush as your view ;)

[Peter Ward]

While our accommodation was not bad, the best views were down by the Harbour...hope you had a great evening!

Roll on 2013 and hopefully......some ice falling from space toward our sun for even more spectacular fireworks! :)

i am trying to upload some video i shot with the fisheye lens from there - when it is up i will post the link. but i did have Jupiter and the moon inthe shot :)

Beautiful image. Could you tell me the lens you were using.

[PeterM]

Peter, credit where it is due, these images are picture postcard perfect. You nailed it.

[Peter Ward]

Canon F4.0 IS 24-105mm L....if I take only one lens, it's usually that one.

P.S. I was shooting through double-glazed windows to-boot.

[batema]

They were obviously very clean.

Cheers,
