Post your 2010 Pyrotechnics photo's here. (aka Fireworks)


Recommended Posts

I will Start with a few from the Minnesota State University Moorheads show. Take with tripod, remote shutter release, in Manual mode. ISO 100 f9, using between 1/2 second to 2 second exposure. The last image called light writing was done in Bulb mode, about a 23 second exposure at iso 100 f22.

This is a self portrait of me writing my name with a sparkler. Writing backwards bulb mode with wife holding the button for 10 seconds.

Very nice work guys! I haven't posted anything in a while so I'll throw one up here too.

Taken with D200, 18mm on bulb with remote release. I used a card to hold over the lens so I could expose multiple bursts in one shot. While it was exposing I also zoomed the lens.

Well I had some better luck than last year. Tried experimenting with more combination settings and came out with some really good pics this year. The ones that i'm posting here are some of the more unique ones that resemble things.

This one is the Sea Urchen from He11!! you can see the face in the middle wink

This one reminds me of the sun over the horizon...so to speak.

This one reminds me of a flower pot with a dandelion in the background grin

This one you have to stretch the imagination a little, but it looks like bugs over a flower pot. cool

This is a typical perspective shot with a few crowns going off.

Last year, my pursuit of getting a great fireworks shot was a bust. I left my house too late and everywhere I went was packed to the brim with cars and the spot I ended up with was mediocre at best.

This year was different - I left the house by 8:15 for our 10:10 display and I think I got the exact shot I was looking for.

The fireworks are about a mile away and the bridge/carnival just a bit further, the distances are tough to see with the black sky though.

Let me know what you think - thanks for looking!

Our town's celebration is this weekend, so we hadn't watched any fireworks until last night. I am sure that many of the ones I took turned out because of happy accidents, but at least I had some turn out...unlike the past three years. smile

Cropped pretty hard, but I liked it.

I liked the colors reflected in the lake.

My favorite of the night. This was during the grand finale.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
