Fireworks

[Edd]

Finally after waiting 10 months I had the chance two weeks ago to shoot some fireworks at a local firework competition.

The displays were amazing, fireworks were left off in time to music and I have to say the whole event was brilliant even if I viewed most of it through one eye.

Due to the bad weather we have been having (another wet summer ) we arrived later than expected and it was difficult to get a good spot. The other problem was that I really needed to be further back with my 40D and 28mm lens, but I couldn't realistically get any further back.

I started shooting with ISO100 and was disappointed with the results on the camera display, I did crank up the ISO to 200 then to 320.

Let me know what you think. As always C&C Welcome.





















Thanks for looking.

Sorry for posting here but I was unsure which category to put it under.

Ed, I really like the ones where you included the trails.

I always find I'm dissapointed with my fireworks shots of just the bursts.

The one with the blue trail inparticular is stunning!!

That had to be one heck of a show

The last one is my favorite, but they're all good for fireworks. They suck LOL Any time I'd push the shutter the camera would say, "Oh, you want a picture of THAT? Oh, ok, here we go" and THEN click. *sigh*

Thanks guys for your kind words.

I totally agree the burst images don't appear as good as the trails.

Next time I'll try to get further back and include more foreground as that always seems to add to the image.

Thanks
