Title: Chapter 7 -- Fireworks
Post by: ganagr1 on March 03, 2012, 05:50:20 PM
Up in Wisconsin, nothing says summertime better than old-fashioned fireworks during the Fourth of July.  As a recent tradition for me, I've been going up to a little Wisconsin town of Baraboo to celebrate my birthday.  One image shows the fireworks going off in an open field with spectators in the foreground.  Taken in bulb mode for approx. 4 sec., f11, ISO 100.                                In the second image, I zoomed in closer to where I felt the rockets would explode, thus filling the frame with fiery light trails.  2 sec. exposure @ f11, ISO 100.                Both images shot in manual focus.
