Never tried shooting fireworks before, but I read some tips for getting good ones. Of all the shots, I think these turned out the best. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1, 4, and 6 are my personal favorites. All of them range from 6-10 second exposures, except the last one, which is a 30-second. I think I'd like to try and shoot some more from closer up with my 10-22. Maybe I can catch one of the Sea World shows during the summer. All shot using Tv shutter speed priority mode, ISO100, and manual focus to infinity. 17-85 lens on 50D body. |

it just looks like something you'd see from deep space! i've not ever seen a fireworks shot look like that; its almost always the usual palm-tree style. | ||
