Friday Firework Fun

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With:

I finally was able to take great pictures of fireworks. I used the tips I posted here. Now the problem was picking favorites. That was hard. I took a TON of photos and had a really hard time narrowing it down. I used my bulb setting and really played around with the shutter speeds. I had a lot of fun taking the photos and can not wait to play with fireworks photos even more.

My absolute favorite photo. Nothing spectacular about it. I just get captured by it every time I see it. It feels so three dimensional and out of this world. I just can not stop looking at it. Which one is your favorite? I do have a few more that I will be sharing on Sunday.

    I LOVE your fireworks photos! I'm so impressed because I have never been able to produce anything close to this when it comes to shooting fireworks. If you haven't already posted a tutorial on how you did it, I hope you will. I featured your photo at this week's Oh Snap!shots of the Week party. :)

    These are just spectacular! I was feeling super bummed that I missed the fireworks because I was in the hospital, but now I feel like I was there! :D

    wow, your firework shots came out GREAT!! All the ones I saw were a little too far away to capture like this! I'll have to get a longer lens for next year maybe if I don't go somewhere else. I really love how all these came out!

    VERY COOL my friend! LOVE these!!!!! I was anxious for this opportunity too. I did't even have a tripod last year let alone my camera yet. This was something I really was looking forward to.

    These are all spectacular!!! Totally love that last one! :) After not looking up how to do bulb setting I was playing around with my camera today at the park in the 100 degree weather (seriously it was way too hot!) and found it. Of course two days later. lol. I'm looking forward to trying some fireworks again sometime later this summer.

    Loving this collection, Sarah! You rocked it. I hope one day to master this. I was on a moving boat for the first round and my hubs put on his own show on the 4th... making it a little tricky. Thanks so much for sharing and linking to our Summer Daze!

    These are INCREDIBLE! I seriously love them all...that last one is pretty amazing, I don't blame you for looking at it all the time! Happy late 4th!

    These are just beautiful! I do like that last one, something extra special about it!

    Oh my Sarah, you knocked these out of the park! I do really like that first one, but I think I'm with you, that last one is really mesmerizing and almost feels like when I'm looking at it that it's moving! We were home for the first time since we have lived where we are so I'm not sure we picked the best fireworks around, they really weren't that great and quite a short show. I got a couple of good ones. But every Friday this summer they shoot fireworks off the Galveston bay on a barge so I'm going to have to practice some more. Wow, these are so awesome!

    wow these are AMAZING! I can't wait until next year when we may be able to actually stay up for fireworks

    You got some great ones! I used my 11-16mm on mine and then cropped when I was editing. I switched lenses a couple of time but found that I was too close for anything other than my wide angle.

    Wow. This settles it, I need a tripod so I can use my nikon for these next year! I use my point and shoot on the fireworks setting, but this year it poured rain during the fireworks so I had to put it in my bag! I just cna't get over the vivid colors!!
