All of these photos were long exposure (about 10 seconds long) holding the camera as still as I could, with a second curtain pop of the flash right at the end of the shot.
Our local paper (online) features this video of the finale of our local fireworks....yee-ha!
I never did connect with her today (but it's only 10pm- the night is young!)
So, my friend, I want to say how grateful I am that you stepped onto the planet at the same time as I, (only three weeks after me, to be exact!) Thanks for walking the paths we share alongside me, and for showing me other roads, too. Life is so much better with quietly shining, Beautiful Fireagate!
I've got some wine in the fridge now, ready for our next skype!
We enjoyed a beautiful evening of fireworks with friends yesterday. After shooting many photos of fireworks on the tripod, I handheld the camera and "painted" (kept the camera in motion while taking the exposure) with the fireworks....
(these are taken with my digital Canon SLR, 300 mm zoom lens)
..and here is one with a guest photographer...I handed my camera to my friend sitting next to me, and she tried her hand at painting with fireworks.....
Beautiful!!! She was very pleased, exclaiming it looks like a spider web.
One more on the tripod
All of these exposures were about 5-10 seconds long, shot on manual with the bulb setting, ISO 1600, about f16.
I have more long exposure photos from this evening...til next time!
