Fireworks at LaGrave Field - 06-29-2006, 12:37 AM


Here are a couple of shots from last night. I did not have my tripod with me and the only thing wide I had was the fisheye.

I think about 17mm non-fisheye would have been better but I did not have one, so what can you do....

I think you do what you did unless you have my widest which is 28mm or step back even further to the kit lens which is 18mm. That reminds me, I haven't used that lens since I was in one of those towers you shot there looking toward LaGrave field.

Good job on the fireworks Jake especially for a hand held fisheye!

I like the second one, both are very good for handheld & lens you had. Thanks for sharing.

you could have called me and borrowed the 18-50.

I like these better anyway. Nice shots, especially hand held.

Excellent perspective, Jake. "Fireworks" shots are so predictable, and many look the same, and seemingly could have been taken anywhere.

BUT, you balanced the specific location with the fireworks themselves to achieve a great composition. Way to go.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys!
I did have a 28mm with me but it didn't give the perspective that I wanted.
