thanks everyone greatly appreciated.i was suprised how hard it was to keep the right shutter speed. just to let you guys know i was using a k100d super with a 28-200 sigma lens with a uv filter.

first time shooting fireworks eh? doesn't seem like you had much trouble judging by these shots... (#5 is my fav)

vievetrick · 07-10-2008, 06:37 PM

I agree, with Dan. For a first timer you rocked. Nice job.

I liked these too. I noticed from the EXIF data that you used a range of settings - proving again that there are many ways to get excellent results.
Looks like it was a good show!

Marco, for a 'first timer' you sure nailed the technique for fireworks. Excellent shots!

Ditto what everyone else said. Good stuff, Marco.
