Happy 4th, a day late, everyone!
I took tons of fireworks shots last night, trying to go thru them all now to see what ones I wanna post...narrowed it down to 70 out of the 211 pics I took, so far. I'll probably knock it down to at least half that; I don't wanna flood my gallery with that many fireworks shots (do I??) ...
I used the Fireworks scene mode on my new Canon; they turned out okay...looks like that mode sets it to a longer exposure; all streaks of light, rather than points, but that's okay, some of them turned out pretty cool. Next time I try to take pics of fireworks, though, I'll have to try to experiment with the settings a little, and see what other effects I can get.
I'm also trying to decide if / how I want to frame these pics...kind of like my moon shots, where the background is black, I can't use my standard black frame, but I'm not even sure if a frame would look that good on the fireworks pics. I might just put my username on them, and be done with it.
Anyways, hope everyone had a great holiday, and expect to see a bunch of fireworks shots up in my gallery sometime in the next couple of days!
[EDIT] I've narrowed the field to 30, and I've decided to post them all. I'm in the process of framing them now (came up with a nice, clean frame, courtesy of a framing tutorial by
facist,
"Framing Your Works"), and will hopefully have them up sometime tomorrow. [/EDIT]
