First try with Fireworks

[Ed Matuod]

Here's my first try on fireworks:
Calgary Globalfest 2008 (Aug, 22/08 at Elliston Park, Calgary)
More practice I think. Tried the bulb thing won't work or I might be wrong with my set-up. All taken with tripod and 5D+100-400L IS and 30D+Tamron 18=250mm. Comments and tips welcome. Thanks for viewing.

wow, nice patterns!

this was handheld, right?

for fireworks, i mostly use a tripod so the light trail will be straight. ISO 100-200 f/8-11 BULB with shutter speeds between 1-3 secs depending on the timing of the fireworks. HTH

Love this (FW 28) shot Ed.

And looking at the wooden posts you are really close to the scene. That's super huge!

A very unique pattern nicely captured, Ed!
