Anyone else shoot the la jolla fireworks?

[xzyragon]

Got to go out and get pics of the la jolla fireworks on the fourth. First time shooting fireworks, and I definitely wish I had a remote trigger. It was cool with the reflections over the water though.

Any C&C is welcome! Not sure when the next chance I'll have to shoot fireworks is, but comments / tips are always appreciated!

I did.. here's what I ended up with:



I'm not sure but I think it might have had something to do with the fact that La Jolla is about 1600 miles away from my house. Maybe a better zoom lens next year.. lol

You might be better off attaching that zoom to a satellite my friend.

Eh, maybe. But if I'm shooting from a satellite wont I need like scuba gear or something?

I think you might need a little more than scuba gear. Unless you have some awesome diving equipment no one knows about

Ya, even the 150 - 500 didn't have the reach. but I enjoyed what you posted. The one posted by robbins could probably use an exposure boost of a couple stops.

Thanks baturn. And I think Robbins photo was a bit too cooked in Photoshop personally. Just my opinion

How dare you deny the utter genius of my HDR (Holy crap this is a Dark Room)! Philistines. No appreciation for true art.

Pffft amateur. Everyone knows you're supposed to get it right in camera, which is why I carry around all my watermarks with me. I can't be ruining my images with silly software.

So the idea is to ruin them on the camera instead? Wow.. ok, maybe your more of a visionary than I originally gave you credit for being.. lol

Why waste hours of time in post overcooking an image when I can just ruin it while I'm taking it?
