Image captured in the International Fireworks Competition took place in Coney Island Park, in Cincinnati, in 2013. Italy, Spain, Germany and China I remember participated. They were staged across a lake in the park. Every Country had about 15 minutes for the exhibit. The final grant finally was done by Roxy brothers from Cincinnati. It was spectacular !!!
This was done by two images photo montaged in CS6.
The first image was captured of the lake after the first competitor finished, and the second image was taken during one of the displays by others (I do nor remember which Country?)
All the images were hand held, no tripod.

Camera: Canon 5D Mark II
Lens: 28-300mm. Tamron lens @ 28 mm. mostly.
ISO: 6400
Aperture: f/11
Exposure: 1/3000
In CS6 I superimposed the image of the fireworks over the lake image, and erased some of the borders of the upper image when not over dart sky, after adjusting the size by the Transformation command.
To eliminate the digital noise, I used noiseware plug in software. The color reflections of the fireworks in the water were done with a lazo selection at a feather value of 90 and the color command in CS6.
