I found a decent vantage point. I wanted the fireworks over the capital, but I was off a bit.

@sk66...that second is really funky!

One of the better ones I was able to get at a smaller local event, just getting a feel for this sort of shot. Ended up shooting blind and hoping for the best. I'm looking forward to applying what I learned to one of the big fireworks displays in town next year!

This was my first year lugging a tripod along to the festivities, so much better results than previous years. Didn't manage to get an interesting foreground, unfortunately (somebody's Chevy Suburban and a couple of light poles!), so I ended up cropping down pretty far.



A couple others on my flickr stream. Shot with a Canon S2IS, so it is possible with a non-DSLR as long as it gives you decent manual control.

Finally, I can add some firework shots After bucketloads (more like truckloads) of rain on Saturday, the Winter Carnival was postponed until Sunday. And despite a few spots of rain, the show went on, and the camera still works after getting a bit wet as it started to rain in the middle of the fireworks. lol So...



You can tell just how windy it was from the direction that all the fireworks are blowing.
