RSC Theatre Shakespeare400 Celebrations

To mark the end of the Shakespeare 400 years celebrations. RSC Theatre lit up at night. I'd been positioned on the riverbank for 3 hours before this shot. Had already pre-focused on the theatre and switched the lens to MF to lock it. This is a 30 sec exposure so the fireworks displayed are what was in the sky during a 30s timeframe and not what I saw on that very cold night. There was also a good amount of light pollution which had to be fixed with a levels layer in PS.
