I was setting up my camera to take this long exposure (30sec) picture in Sydney After 10 seconds of exposition that fireworks started on the background for exactly 10 seconds, I was celebrating this shot even before the shutter closes. It's was incredible because I didn't know about it and was not anybody else there.
It was a Magic moment for me and that's why this picture has a special meaning for me and I would like to share with you, I hope you like.

Location
The Photo was taken in Sydney, Australia on April 2015.Time
I was walking with my Fiancé around the Opera House at 8:34pm when find this lovely spot.Lighting
I wanted a very smooth water on this picture so my priority was to put my shutter speed lower as I could (30sec).Equipment
My Canon 7D with a Sigma 17-55mm lens and no tripod I use a wall as a tripod.Inspiration
In fact I would like a good picture on that moment but I couldn't image to have such a good luck, because I set up my camera for 30sec e press the shutter but what I didn't know was the fireworks was to happen. Exactly, when my camera was about 10 sec exposure the fireworks started and last for exactly 10 sec. Imagine my feeling watching those fireworks and knowing that I was capturing everything in the right moment. The last 10 sec of my picture for me was the longest 10 sec ever, because I really wanted to see what was the result on the screen. So when this image came up to my screen I was so happy for being the right place in the right moment and with right set up for that moment.Editing
I just fix some contrast and enhance the colours, but not much to do in this picture really.In my camera bag
My Canon 7D and 60D, sigma 17-55mm F2.8 and Tamron 70-200m 2.8 lenses. External flash Yongnuo 600RT.Feedback
If you know that it will happen any opera at the Mrs Macquarie's Chair Go to Hinckson Rd Reserve, set up your tripod and wait for the fireworks go off.
