I put up a little explanation at http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/182191565/ - I did not mention seconds, but the third exposure was 30 seconds - but the HDR technique takes out some of the blown-out brights, which is nice.

That's gorgeous! I'd love to know the settings behind this as well.

I love this image, prolly the best 4th of July image I've seen in quite a few years. I also read in your Flickr about your technique. Looks like several of our members are curious about it, also. Great job, overcoming so many obstacles so successfully!

very well done!

Love the perspective! The reflection is particularly striking. How did you fix the overexposed bits?

Thanks! The overexposed bits come out with the HDR Tone Mapping process. I have a little tutorial up at http://stuckincustoms.com/?p=548

I was fearing all the fireworks photos that were going to go up today, but this one really is just stunning! I love the balance of the fireworks with the boats on the river. Really great capture.

Everything about this photo is near perfect.
