Keeping this short and sweet, because it seems everyone now has the capability to do fireworks pictures (especially around this holiday!).
So…short version: all shot last night with NEX-7 and Nikon 28mm f/2.8 E at ISO 100 as close as the police would allow me, with apertures ranging from f/5.6-11, and exposure time ranging from .8-3.2 seconds (tripod and remote release used). Some are captioned, some aren’t. Will have first impressions of this last prime in the Series-E line-up from Nikon sometime this weekend. Now…PICTURES!
P.S. I uploaded the following 12 at a slightly higher resolution than normal to try to share better detail of the streams. 🙂
Starting Salute, look how small the people are in the bottom right
Frame-Filling
Supernova
Sense of scale, I really was right under them. 🙂
Squid-Like (also, that’s not motion blur, that’s wind blur)
Juxtaposed
Finale, the big guns
That’s all for this one guys. Happy birthday to the U.S.A and all that. I loooove me some coordinated mid-air explosions. 🙂
As always, have a great day!
