    Who's Got Fireworks Photos?

    Who took fireworks photos on July 4th? I've been waiting for some Independence Day photos. I know there must be some out there. Lemme see what you've got!

    We've had over 20 inches of rain since Wednesday! Not much happening in the fireworks department, yet. One local city moved them to Labor Day. Another insists they are on for tonight, but it's still pouring.

    It has been raining almost steady since last Wednesday.

    Here are a few shots from the Indianapolis Indiana fireworks show. It was a nice show and my 2 year old daughter just loved the "pretty lights" and loud booms, although she does have a flare for the dramatic.

    Re: Who's Got Fireworks Photos?

    We finally got our fireworks off tonight. They shoot from a barge in the bay, and the area behind the barge is undeveloped land on the air force base, so no sense of placement like agaduc996 above.

    It's a matter of taste, but I'm not a fan of light-streak fireworks shots. That's not what fireworks look like as you watch them, so I stay with short exposures. These are at 1/125th second, ISO 800, my 18-55 lens wide open at f:3.5.





    Smiley face!!

    I didn't think about the storms you guys were having in the south. That explains things a bit. Normally, I would have been on here talking about fireworks photos before the 4th. But this year I was on my back, all post-surgery opiated. I'm glad to see some fireworks photos showing up, though

    I got a few. I tried to get away from the same old stuff I have shot in the past by including more context or doing stuff like changing focus or zoom during the exposures.
