Fireworks (overload)
I'm in love. I'm so excited that I was able to get some cool fireworks shots the other night. Sorry for the overload here. If you want settings or want to know how I captured these, just let me know! Do you think they should be brighter? These are pretty much SOOC. Bridge made its standard "corrections" and adjusted exposure to underexpose by 1.25 stops on each one. I left it as is (more or less) but I could brighten them if I go back and increase the exposure a bit. What do you think?

great shots!! I would love to know settings and which lens you used??
I think they are all fantastic. Now what in the world are you going to do with all these shots? LOL That's what I always ask myself. I can't wait to try this myself tomorrow night. I'll probably take just as many...if not more, and then they'll sit on a disk for eternity. LOL
GREAT shots! I'm dying to know about the lens and all your settings for this!
I used my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 at the 28mm end. I have to say that I wish I'd had a wider lens with me as I wasn't always able to get the full burst in the viewfinder, but we were pretty close.
My settings: f/8, ISO 200 (though it should have been 100 and I forgot to change it). Shutter speed set to bulb. I tried both 1 and 3 seconds and it wasn't long enough. With bulb, I could control how long each exposure was for. Set the lens to manual focus and set focus to infinity (there's a symbol on the lens itself).
If you try it, please share!
I will have to try this, thanks for sharing!! I think they look great
