Turin’s fireworks 24/6/2009

Every June on 24 in Turin we use to make fireworks and parties to honor the patron saint of the city ‘San Giovanni’. This is a common festival in many Italian’s cities each one has its own Patron to be proud of and each one will have the proper celebration day. Can not miss that opportunity for photos night time.

I was so happy and amazed by the potential of my new Canon 450D, is incredible what is possible achieve with a tripod and a high ISO sensors.
The digital revolution for sure has changed totally how I make photos night time, many will come later on.
Next time I do have to find out in Turin a better place to view the fireworks, better then my own balcony Turin has great landscape and images that worth to make pictures at night. All the squares, churches, monuments are enlightened.
