Fireworks Pictures
Capturing the splendor of fireworks can be tricky, and unfortunately a regular point and shoot camera won't do the trick. The way to get beautiful pictures of fireworks is to use a manual camera set up on a tripod and on the right settings. Check out the examples below and what settings we used to see the difference in how the picture turns out depending on the settings. Maybe the next time you are enjoying a grand display of fireworks, you can try out these tips and capture some great pictures as well!
ISO 1600 - F3.2 - EXP 1/80 SEC
ISO 1000 - F22 - EXP 1.3 SEC
These pictures are of the same firework shot at the same time on two different cameras. |
I am having a great summer and I hope you are as well. I am sure a lot of you are thinking it has been good but is already half over. We are half way finished photographing our high school seniors – which we enjoy – but we are that much closer to football season! Those who know me are well aware how much I love high school football.
Our newsletter is a few days late because we were waiting to tell you about our trip to Destin last week. It was considered a working vacation, but for me taking pictures is never work. My wife Sheila, some of our family, Sandra, our office manager, and some of her family, and James, one of our photographers spent several days last week at the beach. We photographed 4 families as well as our own families. On Thursday we spent the day on a pontoon, wave runner and several even went parasailing. Yes, we have lots of pictures to remember these events. My youngest granddaughter, Jennifer, got to go to the beach for the first time and enjoyed the great big sandbox very much. On July 4th James and I took pictures of the fireworks from the Ft. Walton/Destin Bridge. It was great. After the fireworks there was a lightning storm in the distance off the Gulf and we spent about an hour shooting lightning bolts.
About the only thing that could have made this trip better was if we had more of you there to photograph so you could have great memories and lasting portraits at a beautiful location.
Sincerely,
|

2008 has been an exciting year for Elizabeth. This spring she graduated from the University of West Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography. On May 17th she got married. Elizabeth and David live at Jackson Lake with their 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 chinchillas. Although she loves studio and action photography, Elizabeth’s lifelong dream is to travel to exotic places and photograph for National Geographic.
