Taking photos of fireworks is actually quite hard. Not only do you have to take time to set your shot up, wait for the right moment, adjust each time to make sure your exposure is correct.... you also have to adjust for any external factor.
In this instance, after about 20 photos I managed to get this shot of the awesome of the 2015 Chinese New Year Firework display in Hong Kong.
The original photo was full of fog/smoke and a had a bit of distortion from the hotel window I was shooting through. I was actually quite impressed that my NEX5-R manage to capture the photo. It was also the last time I used it and upgraded to a Sony A7s Shortly after.
