During the new year’s eve fireworks in Åmotfors I managed to capture some of the action. I just brought my camera without planning for the shoot. These images were all taken handheld with ISO 200 (the native ISO on my camera) and 2,5 seconds shutter speed. Nothing interesting in the foreground. Basically the images were all shot just for fun and to some extent to prepare myself for a real fireworks shoot in the future.

Smoke Pillars
A couple of days ago in Åmotfors there were some nice colors in the sky. The two smoke pillars together with the trees in the foreground gives the scene an eerie feeling. At first I tried to create an HDR image but the result was not satisfactory at all. In the post-processing I used a single exposure and brought back some information from the sky and added a light vignette. That pretty much gave the result I was after.
It’s in the end of December and still no snow. That’s weird.
