Last night I took my tripod, my Nikon D7000 and my Tamron 18-270 up to the school grounds to attempt shots of the fireworks that were scheduled for 9:45. The fireworks, and the pictures were a success. I was in aperature mode, set my ISO at 200, my F stop at 13 and held my breath as I began snapping. Altho, the shutter took what seemed like forever before it would snap back into place....I guess that is what you call a long exposure...huh? Don't have
much any knowledge of shooting at night. But I am happy with what I did capture, knowledge or not, actually I think it was probably sheer luck.
If I get another opportunity I may try to shoot in manual mode, just to see the difference. Instead of boring you with shot after shot, I just put them all together in one collage. Happy 4th!!
I am so proud of this I am linking to Amy at Love Bug "Show off Your Shot" And for the first time Mosaic Monday at Little Red House
And since it is Monday, I also have a pic for Rosie's Color Me Weekly. I captured this last Friday evening when the sun was beginning to set.
