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.

this is the first time doing fireworks. i have to say they turned out great. i got a total of 60 pics. so here are a few.

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.
