I have never managed to capture fireworks before
I am not a fan of standing around in the cold night air, so these were captured from my back doorstep.
Five minutes was about my limit
About twenty of my shots went to the bin
The last is my favourite.
You don’t really need photographs of fireworks to let off some do you?
I’m ecstatic!
GM,
The photos are very nice and you did a good job photographing them.
My question is: What was the occasion? You weren’t celebrating the 4th of July,were you?
No 5 would look good in a frame.
Ramana – I don’t need a camera, just a licence to have fireworks. These were part of a local organised display.
Mil – eStatic or iStatic if you are using a Mac! 😆
Nancy – I was not celebrating anything. The noise of firecrackers outside reminded me it was Halloween so I found my camera and went out my back door for a few minutes.
Big John – No 5 is one I could do something with…
i like the one you don’t
Patty – I put that one in the bin. 😉
I just assumed it was how the community celebrated the newly elected president. No. 5 is best, but No. 2 looks very interesting–sort of like a bit of sheet music in the dark sky.
Good thing for us that you waited it out – I agree with you – the last one is the best!
No 5 is my favorite…probably because of the color…
They really are difficult, you need such a slow speed that camera shake’s a problem. Have you got a ‘sports’ setting, that might do it. Or a tripod or something to steady your camera. Although photographs never really capture the joy of live action with Fireworks.
Alice – My little camera is no match for professional fireworks photos. I liked the patterns in these few attempts.
Marianna – Without a camera I would never have ventured outside.
Brighid – I am a ‘blue’ fan, and think that is part of the appeal.
Baino – My camera is not much bigger than my mobile phone, it fits neatly in the palm of my hand. If I had to worry about settings, tripods or a heavy weight, I would never take it out of the box. My camera is for fun.
