🎆 Ringing in the New Year beneath the glowing skies of Salzburg, where centuries of history met a few seconds of pure light. Watching fireworks bloom above the Festung Hohensalzburg felt like time standing still — old stone, winter air, and a fresh beginning all at once.

Mixed light, mixed feelings

Happy New Year.
I’ll start with a confession: I really dislike fireworks. Not the light itself, but everything around it. The pollution, the stress for animals, the damage to nature, and the yearly ritual of people discovering—once again—that playing with controlled explosions has consequences. Every year the harm increases, and every year we collectively act surprised.

So no, you won’t see me buying fireworks or lighting them myself.

But… I do photograph them.

Because once they are already in the sky, they become something else entirely. Brief, chaotic chemical experiments unfolding against a dark background. This image was taken handheld with my Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 100–400, using a 1.6-second exposure at ISO 100. Long enough to let the explosion draw itself, short enough to keep structure and definition.

What fascinates me most is the physics and chemistry behind the colors. Yellow from sodium, red from strontium, and that elusive blue—one of the hardest colors to produce reliably in fireworks—created by copper compounds under very specific temperatures. Add bright white sparks, often magnesium or aluminum, and suddenly the sky looks less like a celebration and more like a fleeting nebula.

If you look closely, it almost resembles deep-space imagery: expanding clouds, glowing particles, tiny star-like points suspended in darkness. A reminder that the same physical laws govern both fireworks above our cities and stellar explosions light-years away.

I don’t celebrate the noise or the damage. But I do observe the light—brief, beautiful, and already fading.

2日間の町みなと祭りラストの昨晩の花火大会。

町公式とケーブルテレビ両方からの撮影の使命。高知山からのショットを選びましたが、最悪の条件でした。濃霧で時折街明かりも花火の明かりも全く見えなくなり。花火自体の煙もこちらに向かってきました。何とか撮れた花火を合わせ1枚だけ“使える”写真を作りました。マストドンだけにビフォーも載せます。

Last night's fireworks display was the final of the two-day Town Port Festival.

My mission was to shoot from both the town's official and cable TV stations. I chose a shot from Kochiyama, but the conditions were terrible…

New monthly category alert: 🎆 Fireworks

Whether it’s the sparkle of a backyard sparkler or a sky full of color on a summer night, fireworks are a challenge worth chasing.
