Fireworks Part II

As I said in the previous posting, I had only taken fireworks photos one time before so I was really impressed with how many of these pictures came out.

Now I can't wait for next year so that I can get even more fireworks pictures. It may even encourage me to deal with the crowds in order to get even more pictures.

Here in Utah there is a holiday on July 24th to celebrate the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley. Like Independence Day there is parades and fireworks shows.

This year I took two of our nieces up to Cottonwood Heights to watch their community fireworks.

I had only photographed fireworks once before that was back with my Nikon EM film camera and I was too far away to get really good pictures.

To get these pictures I put my camera on a tri-pod, put the focusing on manual and did 10 second exposures. I was not sure how well the pictures would come out but was pretty happy with the results.
