This is amazing. Mind sharing what your set up was?
This was shot with the Nikon D600 and the Tokina 11-16mm at 16mm. Exposure was 27 seconds f/11 with a neutral density 0.9 (3 stop) filter. The tripod was right next to the Partners statue, and the height maxed out to get over people's heads. Final image was cropped at bit, as I was preparing for the Hallowishes perimeter fireworks.
Here is the uncropped 16mm, Hallowishes finale with the perimeter fireworks. There wasn't much wind to blow the smoke away.
16mm 5.6 seconds f/11 ND0.9 (3 stop) filter
I actually like the smoke for Hallowishes. Adds an eerie feel.
This is just a gorgeous shot. Thanks for sharing your setup!
Just curious. How tall is your tripod fully extended?

I love the uncropped photo, too! The smoke makes the castle look so ominous, it's great!
How early did you get there to save your spot?
Thank you!
We scoped out the spot about an hour before. My fiance sat at the spot while I headed back to the front of the park to get the tripod from the locker.
Just be aware, it is an extremely crowded area. People/kids will bump into your tripod. I carry a backpack and clip it to the bottom of the tripod, so the added weight adds a bit more stability. And so kids don't try to go under it.
just WOW
i think this would make an awesome tattoo design
Please share how you got this shot! What lens and setup did you use? This is simply AMAZING!
Thanks Chad

This was something I have wanted to try for a while but never got around to it. I really have no clue how to do it so thankfully Google came to the rescue lol. I stumbled onto this tutorial online and followed it step by step and what you see was the outcome. Pretty easy to do really. The hardest part is try to match up the ends so everything blends in. I was started to go thru and black out all the smoke, and it looked sharp but think the smokes adds to the picture.
