I had a vision about doing a fireworks scene that included a sky that was not totally dark like you see most of the time but had some elements of stars. This is how I setup the scene.
The background was shot at iso 1600 f16and exposed 8 seconds. In camera raw, clarity was brought up to show the stars and noise reduction was increased. The stars are not showing here due to compression but do show in the .tif version.
I then combined this shot with 6 stacked images of various fireworks. For the most part the fireworks were all in the same area, so on the individual layers, I used the content aware move tool to spread out the fireworks across the scene.
Any thoughts are welcomed and appreciated!
