Fireworks

As I earlier blogged, last weekend we went to the fireworks in honor of the King's birthday. This was one of the first few times that I have tried to photograph fireworks. I've done it a little before, but this is the first time I set up and tried to capture some decent photos.

I read some tips on how to photograph fireworks. One of the tips was to use bulb mode. In bulb mode the camera keeps the shutter open as long as you hold the button down.

I took a lot of shots, and a few of them turned out fairly decent. The two biggest challenges were getting the exposure right (using bulb mode) and the smoke. However the shots turned out, I feel like I learned something and I know that I had fun.
