Happy new year everyone!

I managed to glimpse the midnight fire afterwork but was quite far away.

I struggled to balance the cityscape with ambient in my photos. The city was too dark when I tried to get the fireworks to come out as sharp and well exposed rather than fuzzy and overexposed. Any ideas as to how to go around this problem. I did realise that you could expose for the city in one frame and combine later but didn't think of it at the time. (I am not sure whether my tripod would keep it that still while I fiddled with settings)

Thoughts?

Hi Suren!
Happy New Year to you!

How many Images did you use for this one?

It looks a little square on the right hand sight just to the left and underneath of the red fireworks.
Otherwise it is not a bad Image

I noticed that as well but thought it was the silhouette of a building.

Would it be possible to shoot the city scape again and blend the 2 together?
