Here are a few images from yesterday's fourth of July celebration.
Since there was so much traffic, we ended up finding the first empty parking spot available and made a mad dash to setup the camera and tripod just in time for the fireworks to start!
I started shooting with a 50mm to get some relatively close shots of each firework as it exploded, as shown in the next two images.
I then switched a wide-angle lens to record more of the surroundings as shown in the next set of images.
I set the shutter speed to the 'bulb' setting operated it manually to record a few 'bursts' in each shot. These fairly long exposure times resulted in creative rendering of the car headlights as they passed on the road. This was a welcomed bonus.
What a great time. It was fast, nonstop action that ended as abruptly as it started!
That was fun.
