As promised, here is the first of my fireworks shots from last night at Camelback Mountain in The Poconos. Spent the night with my brother, his family, and my family . . . a fantastic time - I'll be updating this post later today with the entire gallery, including candid family shots!
Fireworks couldn't be easier to shoot . . . in fact, as I am writing this, I am thinking of posting a video tutorial on how to shoot fireworks - I realize it's too late for this year, but it'll be perfect to gear you up for next season! This shot was captured on a tripod and tripped by a cable release attached to the camera. Set the camera to manual at f/11 with the shutter speed set to BULB. This means the shutter stays open for as long as I keep the button down. You time each shot visually - this is so easy, in fact, I shot the entire night from a lounge chair . . . all that was missing was my signature Mojito!
Keep an eye out later today for the rest of the gallery!
