Each year, Brisbane has the fireworks festival. The fireworks festival of the year that is full of magic, colour and wonder. Fireworks are let off from numerous places through the city – from bridges, the river and from the tops of buildings. The city stops while it becomes a mass of colour and light.
Each year Riverfire is bigger and better than the year before. This year they added laser lights and changing colours on the Storey Bridge (this was my favorite bit).
I’ve enjoyed Riverfire from the city before, but this year my vantage point was from a couple of suburbs away, in Hamilton, where I had a great view of the city buildings and the Storey Bridge. I also had plenty of room to setup my camera on a tripod, play with my camera settings and snap away to my heart’s content. That is, when I wasn’t totally engrossed and amazed at what I was seeing. It truely was a magical experience.
From the 200ish photos I took I only ended up with a handful that were good, and I’ve had fun editting them to try and capture the essence of the experience. Here are my favourites for you to enjoy too.
Do you have a favourite fireworks festival?
Cheers,
Lynda.
