Dear Self:
Next year, on the Fourth of July, when you get giddy and excited about taking pictures of the fireworks, remember this: NO ONE NEEDS 387 PHOTOS OF FIREWORKS.
[Especially someone who already has four times that number of fireworks photos taking up space on the server from the last few years anyway.]
Oh well. They still look wicked awesome though, don't they?
And for your 387 fireworks photos next year:
ISO 100
f/10
2 second exposure on the bulb setting
The pictures turned out awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThey did turn out great!! I love the first one!
ReplyDeleteReally great photos! You are so good!
ReplyDeleteThis year was my first attempt ever at photos of fireworks. One turned out acceptable. I appreciate the camera settings info. :)
ReplyDeleteLast night I took 150 pictures of my kids and got 18 good ones. Full manual mode, to boot!
ReplyDeleteBooooring...
ReplyDeleteI hear ya sister, at least you have downloaded and posted yours.. mine are still sitting on my camera. Prob not to be viewed until Halloween! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out cool! I had fun taking firework pictures for the first time this year. I found that using the settings of ISO 100, f11 for between 13 and 15 seconds worked pretty good. For me it was too shaky on bulb mode even with a tripod since I don't have a remote release or anything. You can check mine out here http://pairofsockies.blogspot.com/2011/07/celebrate-freedom.html

ReplyDeleteThose such cool pics. Where did you see the fireworks? You inspired me to make a blog, so Check out my blog at http://www.twistedwordsandtwistedmind.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you. =)
Dan is obviously recovering quite nicely from his ordeal...good to know that they didn't remove his sense of humor along with his kidney.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, BABY! Wicked Awesome is RIGHT!
ReplyDeleteI promise not to right click them and pretend that I took them...
...next year...
just kidding...I wouldn't do that....
I love your fireworks pictures. Do you blow them up really big and use them as July Fourth Decor? That's what I would do.
