Fireworks




This was my first shot at taking fireworks pictures since I received my digital SLR a year and a half ago. I read a little on this site about settings, etc. He recommends (it's a requirement, really) to use a tripod, which I ended up not using, as I forgot the part that locks the camera on the tripod (the most important piece...grrr....). These pictures are nothing fantastic, by any means, but I am happy how they turned out for my first try. I do enjoy fireworks but don't enjoy the crowds and traffic afterwards, so it was really nice to relax with friends and watch the works from their backyard!
Thanks, Kelly!

Cool! I took photos of the fireworks for the first time this year, too! (I didn't have my tri-pod either!) Haven't uploaded them yet to see how they turned out.
