Hello everyone!
On 'Guy Fawkes' night last week, I thought I would go out and try, for the first time, to attempt to photograph fireworks. Had all my gear; tripod, remote release, settings done in camera D7100, lens Nikkor 24-85....off I go (forgot gloves and glasses)!
So after setting up and getting focused on where I believed the display would be happening (Kendal Castle, Kendal Cumbria)...I was ready! First few shots were grey and white blobs...then I realised that I and the remote were responsible for exposure (bulb)...and after that it got better....well, tell me what you think! Not knowing really what I was doing, am rather pleased with most of the shots (they are on my website...http://charleenratcliffphotography.zenfolio.com )
But here is one I like!
Focal length: 85 /170; ISO 100; exposure 0.4s at f/13; centre weighted average - your comments are most welcomed! :bg3:
