Fireworks!

Went to a little festival here in Clemson yesterday. It has become an annual thing and was pretty neat to go to. Here are a few shots (and a video) I got during the fireworks show:






























Part of the Finale (Video)

WOW! Those are some great pictures. What kind of camera you using? I have a Canon Rebel XT Digital. I like how the pics come out. I'm still learning all the functions on it. My wife likes it because she can take black and with pics.

Thanks! Shot them with a Nikon D300s. Fireworks shots are surprisingly easy, but the most important thing is to have a tripod to prevent any camera shake. Shutter speed of a few seconds, ISO as low as it will go, and aperture set around f/8. Simple as that. Yeah there are a lot of controls on DSLRs. The XTs are nice ones. The more you play with it the more you will enjoy it.
