Fireworks 08

The fireworks downtown may have not been the greatest, but the Motor Boat Club had a great show. Above are some of very first shots of fireworks with my SLR.

It took some practice, but I dialed into 800ISO, 3.5 sec exposure with a f/11. Of course I also used a tripod or everything would have been scribble lines.

    Shoo, these are very nice. I really liked the fourth one in the series, especially since it took me a while to figure out it wasn’t aerial. And then I saw the hand.
