Fireworks at culture night in Reykjavík

Fireworks at Reykjavík harbour. It is estimated that 90 thousand people were watching the fireworks display (out of a population of 300 thousand). I was rather far away, set up the camera on a tripod and experimented with long exposures. Was using the Sigma 10-20 lens, but in hindsight I should perhaps have been using a longer lens.

Here is a wider shot with more sunset and less fireworks!

You can see all of my firework pictures here I think this is the best of them.
