Photo Assignment - Fireworks

[icassell]

Nice! Might I suggest you put a couple of lines of spacing between your photographs -- it will make them easier to view.

We're celebrating not being part of the E.U.

What IS a euro anyway?

Getting rid of our British accents, :lmao:. Now I have to post some pics.

From Duluth, Georgia, last night.

 

[icassell]

Wow. Looking at all these pix, I feel like I didn't even have to go out last night! I'm getting a full fireworks show right here on TPF! These have been great!

Can they be from Memorial day? Please? xDD
My town didn't have 4th of july fireworks, and I didn't have a working camera nice enough to take fireworks.

Very nice and nothing in the assignment specified that the pix had to be from July 4!

Fireworks Slideshow

Some sample images:

First time shooting. It was a wonderful experience. Did some research before going out. F5.6 and bulb setting-- sadly I did not have a shutter release cable and had to click manually. Most pictures turned out okay though.

Wow these fireworks make my town's look terribly pathetic. Maybe it was because it was Canada Day. Anyway this one was the finale shot at F/1.7 shutter 60 at 400 ISO.

I used infinity to because I don't have autofocus so it's a little bit blurry. Next year I'll have to bring a digital point and shoot (hopefully I'll have one by then).

Here in New Mexico they still legally let us set off our own!

wooooooooooooooooooowwww
i lovvveee fireworks.
i hope i can shoot good ones.. x_X
its just so hard to have good firework shots if you dont have a tripod.

 

[Barbiro]

Wow...these are terrific fireworks images!! I love the image of the sky :thumbup: I didn't shoot the fireworks directly this time. I shot someone who asked me to snap a picture as he jumped through the fireworks. Can you spot him?

Yeah, I think a tripod is pretty much a necessity for this.

You might be able to set the camera on top of something else (fence post, roof of your car, big rock...) though and use the remote/timer.
