Cool Fireworks!

These shots were taken on the Fourth of July at the University of Buffalo. These were my first attempts at using longer shutter speeds and I was pretty happy with how they came out.

Great job and the reflection in the water adds to the photos. Well done!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! This was my first post on DPS and some of the first photos I ever took with a DSLR. I was a little nervous to post my photos after spending weeks looking at the amazing photography of other DPS members!

I'll definitely be posting more pictures soon.

Amanda

Wow! Those are great! We always watch fireworks from the boat! Pretty cool to watch but way too hard to get shots like those! Awesome!
