It is next weekend. The celebrations, parades, picnics,and fireworks will abound. For those that want to take pictures of fireworks, there are a number of sites that populate a 'Google Search' entitled "How to photography fireworks," including You Tube videos.
I picked up a tip on one and the following pictures are a result. But first... the following pictures were taken of the screen of my Macbook-Pro 15 computer, which was on a You Tube channel. Pictures taken from a video, not a photograph.
The tip that I was using was shooting picture using the Shutter Mode on my camera set to "Bulb," which keeps the shutter open as long as I have the button pressed.
For better pictures, read some tips first. One tip that impressed me the first time I shot fireworks was to be up-wind. As the show goes on, the smoke accumulates and if you are down-wind, it floats between you and the fireworks, causing distorted pictures.
The last two pictures are the same shot, but I changed one to Black and White, for those with a discriminating taste. :-}
Happy 4th - great pics~!
