Moscow - a photo on Flickriver

Moscow

            Snowy weather through the week forced a short window of time to do some of my serious shooting, meaning I wasn't going to be able to get the modern skyscrapers of Moscow as I wanted. A compromise, however, was finding the right angle to see them in the background behind the Kremlin during that window. This idea led me to this spot along the river still in the city centre, but what I didn't expect was to have fireworks shooting off in the middle of my exposure over the Kremlin: bonus. If you look beyond the Kremlin and the fireworks you can see portions of the skyline of Moscow IBC and the University of Moscow.

One 75-second exposure shot using a neutral density filter to smooth out the river and the big chunks of ice floating through it.
