I was cleaning out my camera's SD card and found these photos of fireworks on the 4th of July.
I've always had such a hard time taking photos of fireworks, but somehow I've always felt compelled to try to capture that excitement. You'd think I would just give up and enjoy the moment.
This time, instead of waiting for a great shot, I just kept clicking on my Canon with the zoom lens using the Fireworks setting.
I'd perched the camera on my window sill and snapped photos without even looking in the view finder.
Well... I was quite happy watching the fun fireworks displays.
I'm also happy to say I later had fun seeing what the camera was able to capture.

Sometimes I wonder what I missed because I was viewing everything from the camera's eye.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well. Much better than my attempts which I shared two weeks ago.
ReplyDeletegood work, sometimes your best photos are by accident...
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! I've tried to get fireworks in the past and have never gotten anything nearly as good. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese came out stunningly!
ReplyDeleteThose photos look really great indeed. Greetings to you!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that fun? It's like a gift!
ReplyDeleteLook at those. They are great!
ReplyDeleteCool shots you got, Kay!
ReplyDeleteYou did great! Those are wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteCameras are pretty smart these days. Oddly enough, it's the non-high-end cameras that are the smartest. You were also smart to stabilize it. A lot of smartness going on, eh" :)
ReplyDeleteI love fireworks
ReplyDeleteWho knew there was a fireworks setting? Wonderful shots and thanks since rain kept ours silent.
ReplyDeleteI learn something new every day.
ReplyDeleteOh, you got some great shots, and the best part is, you didn't have to watch them through your camera!
ReplyDeleteWow, GREAT shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Could enlarge and mount some on foamcore board. Really nice! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteWithout a proper camera, they never come out quite well. I remember trying to take a picture of the moon once, Seemed so simple, but nope, just darkness
ReplyDeleteThose photos look really great indeed. Greetings to you!
