Monday Photo Shoot: July 4 Fireworks
This is a no-brainer photo shoot:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Take pictures of fireworks!
Don't worry, I don't expect you upload most of these until later tonight or tomorrow, so don't let the fact it's a "Monday photo shoot" discourage you from posting on Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday...)
(Note to people posting fireworks picture for this week's Weekend Assignment -- no fair reposting. I know, I know. But I'm sure you've got other pictures, too.)
First, I have to say that trying to take fireworks pictures with an older digital camera is NO fun! The minor inconvenience of shutter lag is often annoying, but with fireworks.... well, let's just say that I took about 40 pictures and got a couple of o.k. ones, but nothing particularly worthy of posting for this assignment. Sooooo... being the creative person I am (note the tongue in cheek here <g>) I took and cropped from 8 or so pics, put them together in a file, gave the background a black fill and VOILA!

Wow, thats even better than any 'finale' I've ever seen. Nice piece.
Talented and Ingenious!
You're a genius. Let me genuflect to your amazingness!
oooooohh!!! aaaaaaaahhh!!!!
it's like the sky lit up at the finale.
being the old school girl that I am, I use film and take a whole roll. From the 36 exposures I usually get maybe 3 or 4 and I am happy. It's all good, Walmart doesn't charge me for my rejects. :) This year was better as I used a tripod.
