Sparks fly

Ridgewood, NJ

I hope to one day get this fireworks business right :)
I got a few crystal clear shots, then a few where there is a shower effect,
and in others, a very hazy effect, when the fireworks were set off closely together.
I didn't have space to set up a tripod, it had to be handheld, but overall I am
happy with the effects.

Nicely done, Mathilda. Fireworks are not easy to do and you have a good image. You have done well.

Spectacular! I'm very impressed these are handheld. I tried this once with a tripod and some were still shakey :o)

Remarkable capture Mathilda, especially considering that a tripod wasn't used.
*Definitely go with the tripod to capture that long flowing, shower of light effect, about 3-4 second exposure will do it.. You won't be disappointed.
