Just a quick photo from the fireworks here tonight. Image taken with Nikon D1 from my backyard.



Enjoy,

Excellent photo Cory !

Looks like you've had as much fun over there as I've had tonight, no point going to bed now !!!

Photo looks really good !

Thanks Ric.

First time I ever shot fireworks. Out of 45 photos or so, that's the best, and only about 10 are really useable. It's tougher than I thought!

Not bad for first time and only a 2.74MP relic like my D1!

Did you have the camera on a tripod ? Fast / slow exposure ?

Or is it just point and shoot, (my way !).

Ric

Ric,

Tripod...too long of an exposure to hand-hold.

wow cory they're really amazing professional looking photos, and some of the best fireworks I've seen

Great job.

Thanks Danster...

Not bad for a small town of about 29,000 in the US! You should see the fireworks in Washington, D.C./Boston/New York/Los Angeles/Columbus, OH! They are really amazing.

That Nikon D1, even though it's almost five years old, still amazes me.

Cheers,

C

P.S. The secret...it's all in the post-processing!

...and I thought they were un(re)touched by human hand, LOL.

Very good pictures !

No color adjustments, just a little trimming and downsizing.

And what in this world isn't (re)touched by human hands these days?
