4th of JULY 2016, FIREWORKS THREAD

[PropilotBW]

It's always fun seeing the results from other photographers, so please feel free to share your fireworks photos you shoot this year!

I am looking forward to giving it another shot this year, and I will be sharing my results after the celebrations!

I hope everyone has an excellent holiday weekend.

This is one of the few I got from last night. It's not professional by any means, but at least I had fun at the show!

A couple things I learned from this show:
-Capturing fireworks is a lot harder than it looks.
-A show that shoots off multiple mortars at once makes it much harder.
-Taking pics while trying to enjoy the show with your family is also difficult.

Here is another one, I think it's much better than my first post.

Agreed on all points.

Yup I agree with you and the multiples leave lots of smoke hanging around.

Fortunately for me I went out Saturday night for these. The ones last night end quickly when the barge shooting them off blew up.

Here's a couple more

I'm curious about the exploding barge. Did someone capture that moment?
