I hope I get a chance. Forcast here is for 60% Flash Boom Rumble Rumble. That plus the high humidity makes for a lot of haze and low visibility. Best place to view around here is from a mountaintop about a mile away from where they set off the fireworks.

i did very little tweeking. a little sharpness, a little contrast, less brightness , a little d-lighting and color. just to darken the background.

Can we have a show of hands of who else had to fumble around in the dark with their camera settings because they didn't have a pen light packed in their gear bag? :(

Another reason i love having the top display...has a built in back light. no need to fumble. Not sure what body you are using but you can usually display all the setting on the LCD too while adjusting them.

the one pic with the bright blue backrond was my first. i wasnt ready and they started going off. so i reset the camera and watched the show while i pushed the remote button. dont know where to put it but here was a quick shot i did before i got to the fireworks.

As I predicted, the rain poured down and then suddenly stopped in time or fireworks. I wasn't going to risk getting wet. (I've had pneumonia three times in the last 18 months.) I opted to spend the evening with my feet propped up.

Great photography Anthony, Newb, and Joe!!!

I shot with the F2 mounting a 28/3.5 (every Nikon user should buy one of these right now because they are dirt cheap! You will get your money's worth out of the glass no matter what kind of Nikon body you own) at F8 with varying exposure times of about 3 to 10-12 seconds using Fuji 200...no tripod just setting the camera on a towel on the roof of a car...I will take it in for processing in the morning and it will be interesting to see what happens as I have never attempted this type of photography before. Stay tuned... :)

BTW...Happy Birthday America!!!
