Description This photograph was taken on the 4th of July (almost near midnight) at Newport. I was there to watch the fireworks and celebrate independence day.

It was taken with the Rokinon 8mm Ultra Wide Angle f/3.5 fisheye lens. Here is one that was taken earlier:

Lovely, as always. I really like how the city lights come across in this picture. They really look so warm, and the streaks of purple and blue in the water is a cool effect!

This is one of the most beautiful pictures I've seen in a long time.

The vibrant colors contrast very well with the black water, and the timing is perfect. The way the colors blend, yet maintain a subtle difference is fantastic, and the blues mixed in with the orange really balances out the piece.
Honestly, there isn't a thing I would change about this piece. Compelling and beautiful, this piece belongs in a calendar or museum. Keep up the brilliant work!

You're far too kind! Thank you very much. It does look a lot like a calendar/post card shot though.

All the colors are really amazing. The bridges help frame the picture very nicely while the skyline being off-center actually helps the picture rather than hindering it. I like how the sky overhead is kind of glowing and how some of the lights are slightly overexposed. It's very beautiful, nicely done.

Thank you once again for the kind words! And I wholly agree... the other shot that was taken earlier is much better haha.

Thank you! I "enhanced" it (made it smoother) in CS5 just a little bit. It was definitely a gorgeous night. The water is usually a little more turbulent because of all the boats, but it was calm there due to the fireworks display.

I appreciate the lovely comment! Thanks once again.

This is very close to where I live, and I've been trying to get a perfect exposure like this forever. Good on you!

KrisVlad In reply to Wannabe-Angel [2012-10-03 02:14:53 +0000 UTC]

Never give up! Keep trying.

Take a look at my EXIF data to make notes on the exposure. Typically they were no more than 20 seconds with low ISO. Good luck! I actually live in Fairfield, OH.

lycan-rising [2012-07-13 15:56:21 +0000 UTC]

woah...this seems almost a complete contrast to the other photo. That was relaxed and chilled. This seems more agressive and fast with the orange/black contrast. Nice stuff.

KrisVlad In reply to lycan-rising [2012-07-14 01:59:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again! Yeah, this shot was taken much later in the night... when the fireworks were over. I stuck around and did another long exposure to see how different it would look.

It's a tough choice between the versions for me once again, but I'm a-gonna go with the nighttime one. The reflection of the city's lights on the bay's water clinches it for me.
