BAM! BOOM! POW! EXPLOSION! - The Pyromaniacs Posse...Err...Fireworks Photo Thread

[WDWFigment]

As some of you may have read elsewhere, fireworks have REALLY been on my brain lately! Given these constant thoughts of pyro, I seek support how else, but by starting a thread here!

To avoid renaming consequences, I've given this thread both a "cool" name and a descriptive name.

Now let's start the sharing!

Nice! I like these!

Here are mine without a tripod:

78 SEcond exposure! Wow, f22? with what size ND Filter? I cant wait to get mine just to see what I can do with it creatively, Stunning!

I'm always scared of overexposing when I am in bulb!

Oh wow! I'm so glad you started this thread! I have always been facinated with firework photo's. Up until now I only had a point & shoot, but as of this month.. I have my new dslr! So I can actually take control & learn how to take awesome firework photo's. How do you keep the colors so bright & vivid?? I'm in awe, you did an awesome job!

WOW! As always Tom AAAmazing fireworks shots, I haven't gotten to play with the K-r at night yet. I was getting some "ok" shots with my P&S but I am dying to play around with the new toy.

Great shots Tom!!! Tough to follow those.

Here are a few from last year all from the same show and spot, with the old tripod on the trashcan trick:

Thanks to this group I was able to start getting some nice fireworks shots - Tripod + ISO 100 + Bulb = Pretty

Here's the big finale from this past July 4th at our local Country Club:

And since this is a Disney discussion, one from Wishes on our last trip:

Love the fireworks shots. Can't wait to try and get some of my own this fall at WDW.

FYI, Tom's ebook is pretty good. You should check it out.
