Scheveningen, bungee, fireworks
« on: August 22, 2015, 00:50:36 »
Tonight I went to the beach of Scheveningen in The Hague.
I showed up early and planned to situate myself in a way that I would capture the fireworks above the peer.
Whilst waiting, I didn't expect to see enthusiasts bunjee jumping into the sunset:)

Df + 105/2.5

Here are some of the results  ;D

Crane, harbor, bungee jump, firewoks...very intriguing combinations.  The sunset is beautiful, and the bungee jumpers give a surreal feel to it.

If there is some headroom left in the raw files, you may want to lower the exposure of the fireworks to recover some colors...

Thanks for sharing!

Stunning photo's, Jakov.  That natural 'firework' of the sunset really creates the mood for the 'rest.  ;)

Dude, these are all wonderful. Every now and then I am struck by this epiphany of why I love photography ... the camera's ability to stop time and we can enjoy a moment at our leisure. Seeing these images made me feel as if I was there ... the last image is so good ... as if you fabricated all the fireworks, painting the sky at your direction.

Thank you Frank, Akira, John, Sten, Elsa and Gary for your lovely comments, really!!!

I am extremely glad you like them! You've left me speechless :)

Akira, I know what you mean. I was so obsessed with the recovering of the crane and the peer that I didn't worry that much about the fireworks...

Here is another one where I got a bit more color out of the fireworks. The fireworks were extremely powerful, this one was exposed for only 2 seconds.

To my eye, the bungy tower is of secondary importance and I would have left it dark as a framing element and to lessen it's distraction to the fireworks and firework reflections in the water.
