Graves’ Mountain Lodge Fireworks
This one was a bit of a mistake, it’s overexposed, but I liked the way the fireworks lit up the ground, and turned everything red…
1.3 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800
And here are a few more. Click on any of the images below for a slideshow of more from last night. For the images below, I’ve included the camera settings in the caption in case that’s of interest to you. I prefer longer shutter speeds than is usually recommended for fireworks. You don’t get quite as good of detail in the fireworks themselves, but the longer shutter speeds give me a bit more ambient light, which I like.
10 sec. @ f/5.6, ISO 320
5 sec. @ f/5.6, ISO 500
13 sec. @ f/5.6, ISO 500
