Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 14 July 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
if I am counting correctly then this photo brings me to my first 100 on Am3!!! well, when I first started I wasn't sure if I was gonna get here... this one I kept for this occasion - it was taken during Australia Day celebrations in Perth in January this year... I especially took my camera and tripod to try out some fireworks shots... out of the many I took, I think this was the best... I really like the celebration, the Aussie spirit and the fireworks - great time is always to be had for everyone who comes down to Swan River during that day...
thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting... please critique at will - i am looking to learn so any comments and tips are appreciated...

Hello ;-) So you moved to Australia when you were young? Well, I have to say that lots of people moved form Lodz to other places, mostly in Poland and the UK,in the past few years. I guess this city isn't very appealing it terms of tourism, but I just love the local atmosphere. Although hundreds of thousands people live here, I still find this place somehow peaceful. Anyway, it must be great in Australia ;-) I don't think I have to say it, but your photos are awesome ;-)

Crystal clarity here, M. The entire composition looks stunning. I especially like the series of 'sparklers' that went off just above the city's skyline. Beautifully realised. :)
