I was trying to create an effect similar to the 'Pillars of Creation' Hubble image, in which stars are born in a fabulous gas cloud complex in the Eagle Nebula. For me, all the smoke and puffs were perfect. This shot without the colours and textures of the smoke would have been very dull.
Definitely not a literal 'vanishing point' in a landscape sense, but perhaps things don't always have to be so literal?
Thanks for all the comments anyways. |

| A nice shot but I'm not sure it fits the title of Vanishing point? |

| Dude, way too much gunpowder. Need to find a place for fireworks where the wind is blowing enough to clear the smoke! |

| I gave this photo a 3. The lines from the fireworks show an example of a vanishing point, I just thought you caught too much smoke in this shot. The little puffs are distracting and the overall haze just turned into an unflattering color that bleach out the effect you get that you see on the left where there is no smoke. |

| Don't recognize the vanishing point here, however neat colors. |

It took me awhile to see the vanishing point, or in this case points, in this photo. I'm not sure this is exactly right because a vanishing point is an optical illusion and in this case of fireworks, the the streams of sparks are actually going off in different directions from a starting point. Not really the same thing. The purpose of a vanishing point is to create a sense of three-dimensional space. In drawing, the artist has to figure out where the vanishing point is and draw the parallel lines converging to that point to re-create what the eye sees in real life. In photography, it is more of a matter of photographing the scene from a POV which shows the illusion of the parallels converging.
A view of fireworks in the sky doesn't really illustrate this concept very well. |

| The vanishing point is an imaginary point at which PARALLEL lines APPEAR to converge. These lines really do converge. Nice photo, but in the wrong challenge. |

| Unique idea and nice capture. Wish there wasn't so much smoke, but what can you do? |

| Maybe you can wait for the right moment? The fireworks aren't interesting here... |
