In continuation of yesterdays post on Santa Marta. The celebrations started on the evening of the 28th of July with a Procession at night by the fisherman in their boats on the lake and a procession along the streets of Marta on the evening beforehand. The next day is considered a local holiday with everyone in a festive mood with a large market during the day and culminating with a magnificent Firework display at 11pm.
No market photos as have only very recently done a post on that very subject Marta Mercato just lots of firework photos to share today. I enjoy fireworks so much more when the displays are on balmy summer evenings.
I think this one looks like a sky full of shooting stars.
It is the reflection in the water that made this one special.
Another beautiful reflection!
I am not a professional photographer and I still have an awful lot to learn, but hopefully these go a little way towards capturing the moment for you.
There are lots more photos of The Firework Display in My Flickr Album Santa Marta Firework Spectacular 29th July 2010
Oooh, aaaah! I particularly like the 2nd and 3rd photos down from the top, the ones with the awesome reflections!
ReplyDeleteThose are my favourites as well, so much so I posted the red one on Beautiful World this evening. http://byrdsbeautifulworld.blogspot.com/2010/08/firework-reflection.html

ReplyDeleteSounds like a charming local festival. And who doesn't love fireworks?
ReplyDeleteGeorgianna - Thanks I guess I would need a very much more complicated camera if I wanted to do better :)
