I love Independence Day (U.S. 4th of July). I love the corny parades, the people wearing red, white, and blue clothes, and mostly, I love fireworks! I followed the instructions in Scott Kelby's blog and captured these images over Lake Dillon in Colorado.
Settings: Camera on BULB mode; shooting with live view and a cable. ISO 200, f/11. Manual mode, manual focus set to infinity. Focal length varies. I zoomed in for quite a few, which was fun, but usually ended up chopping off the tops. Zooming out gave me some reflection in the lake (first image). It was fun shooting these!
great firework shots!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sparklers! Tell people you meant cropping not chopping then it is ARTISTIC not just a happy boo boo. Great images.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all just gorgeous, the colors, the designs, everything is just expodingly beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun 4th!
Nice firework photos! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat firework shots! Thanks for the settings info. Happy belated Independence Day.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Val. I LOVE the first one with the colored light on the lake. Really well done....
ReplyDeleteThese are great, the top especially. Not just the reflection but a bit of the scene to put one in the action.
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT fireworks shots! I aspire to do half as well!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFantastic fireworks! I had a hard time deciding which I liked best--in the end (tough call...) I think the one with the reflection in the lake, because of the extra depth.
