Riverfire 2007

Autor brendon

The problem with Digital photography is the time it takes to get a photo ready to publish. There is so much you can do to improve the look and feel of a shot. I dragged my camera down the local RiverFestival fireworks display. It’s a yearly event where three of Brisbane’s bridges are closed down and lit up with Fireworks.

Last year we were parked out at Cannon Hill and I had a few nice shots but there was a lot of flare from the fireworks and it made the photo’s all look the same and kind of boring. This year on the advice of a friend I took the shots in RAW and had much more control over the finished image.

So, after at least 8 hours of work & 3 separate programs I was able to take the 150 or so photo’s and balance, convert, touch-up, crop and resize down to 15 nice JPG images. They are all posted on my Gallery page here.
