45 TS-E on New Year's Eve...

Some made near to the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday.

Thursday night, July 3 in Danvers, MA. All with a 40D and 28-135 set at 28mm:

ISO200, 18s, f/11

Lenny & Mark:
Nice July 4th shots.

Canon 40D, 10-22mm lens at 13mm, F/5.6, ISO 200, 10 second exposure. On-camera 580EX (recall 1/16 power with wide-angle curtain pulled) with the whole contraption hanging upside down on the tripod an inch above the ground and triggered via a wireless remote.

Cropped and resized 50% ... I was shooting "blind" with the setup since my family was watching the show! I didn't stay still after the flash fired, so there's some "double exposure" feel to it when the fireworks "bleeds" over to the hat.

Yes, I should have un-crumpled the hat before the shot ... plus another half a dozen things - oh well, maybe next year.

And yes, that is the photographer wearing the patriotic hat-ware ... ;-)

In honor of the upcoming 4th of July, show us your fireworks photos!!! ...and how you captured them.

the problem was where I was the fireworks captured us! And they were not man-made.
Lightining was striking about once a second, vicious winds, total power loss for 12 hours (some still out).
Yeah it was an unusual 4th....
exciting, just exactly in the way anticipated and hoped

In a previous post, I shared some images from the 3rd. Here are some images from the 4th. They are a collection of fireworks we shot, and what neighbors' were shooting off. All were shot with the 1D2N, 24-105 @ f/11, ISO 100, in Bulb. Exposure time varies. Used a Cable Release & Tripod.

Crop of original image


Similar to above, but not the same shot

Here is one of mine. This is what you get when you try and hand hold the camera.

All taken at F16 70mm with a Canon 40D - time varied.

Two from tonight - A fair in Uniondale, LI, NY. My first dry outing.

Here are some from the 4th this year...all iso 100.

Where do you live? Alaska, The North Pole, or the Arctic Circle

So this has to do with Canon gear in what way?

Has to do with shooting with our Canon Bodies & Lens combinations to get the shot, that appeals to us as photographers.
