11.3 seconds from the finale of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Reflections of Earth Finale by Scott Thomas, on Flickr Renting a Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 FX (full frame) lens this week. It is very heavy so am not sure the f/2.8 is worth it over Nikon's 16-35mm f/4 which is much lighter. With today's cameras, not sure I need the extra stops.
Here's a different view. After enjoying an Eat to the Beat concert and an evening drinking wine with friends in France, I threw on the 70-200 and decided to shoot IllumiNations hand-held. This is close to the end of the show, with lots of shells all over the place. IllumiNations up close
Here is shot from Pixelmania 2016 from the Imagination Pavilion. Thanks to @mSummers for helping me with blending 2 layers to get an improved shot! Fireworks Friday by John Wolff, on Flickr
And here's my similar-looking shot from the Pixelmania "shoot from wherever you want" Illuminations meet. Fountain of Light
