You have to start with a quality shot; good camera, good lenses. from there you can up-scale to ridiculous levels. A little 5mm sensor with a 7.5mm lens just doesn't cut it, especially not when the 'camera' has been tweaked for consumer style output (over-saturated, over-sharpened).

Also you need to study what kind of compression algorithm is being used.

Precisely.

Probably one of my favorite shots i've taken of fireworks.....

Great shot. From directly under the burst? Every time that I plan on going out to try and shoot some fireworks, something else comes up.

No.

Just very damn close. if you look at the XIF data it's only 40mm.

Out in the Marshall Islands when i was supporting SMDCK, they'd have fireworks on Independence Day (my fav holiday btw) barge is about 800ft off the beach, fireworks pretty much exploding just over your head, it's something I don't think you could experience much anywhere else.


I did always wanna go phtoograph the celebrations in Sydney harbor or DC on the 4th.
