Purple City Wide Shot
The dynamic range of modern digital cameras is quite impressive but it was still easier to mix city and fireworks when there was a long delay that left the sky dark.

This photo has a lot going for it. Notice the grass in the lower right corner? Sharp in a 30 second exposure? The smoke giving contrast to the city? This is a rare combo.

This is where the city council for Tokyo meets. Considering this city has a population pretty close to Canada, it's a significant place.
