July 3 Sachse Fireworks

[Bluesman]

OK
Camera setings:
Manual
f8
Focal Length = 17mm
4 second exposure, a few at 5 seconds.
ISO 100
WB, sunny.
Tripod
Focus, Infinity or close to it.
Remote release. I had the camera set to multiple shots and the release has a slide position that holds the shutter down, so I just let it rip. Luck of the draw but better than tryin to time the shot manually. So it was taking pictures automatically every 4 seconds.

More GREAT fireworks photos. Ya'll making me want to skip my neighbors party and go the lake this evening to see if I can get some. Good work!

Nice, I like them. I was trying to track them through the view finder, antisipate the location and shoot the pic. I will be further away next time or have a fish-eye.

Cool stuff, Bill. We're headed out later this evening to see if we can see some firecrackers too.

WB?

You had your WB set at sunny? I should have tried that. How does it help with the way the photo comes out? Thanks, trying to learn

Cool shots. I completely forgot to play with the WB.

the second to last one, that goes from red to blue to white is cool! You did a great job with all of them.

Thanks for the kind words.
Here's a great web site to learn a great deal:
