Hey, shouldn't I be getting a royalty every time you use that new sig?

Looking forward to the fireworks pics Kevin!

Why? I never got any royalties off the old one.

The seventh one is really kind of low to the ground.
They were all @100 iso ~4-6 seconds ~F8 there was something going on with the exposure, the lights were blinking at me all crazy.
I did PP color temperature to ~<2900.

Those are awesome Kevin.
Where did you go to view them? Were they in SF Bay? Or Martinez?

Good stuff... I had to miss all the fun times cause I had to work 4-midnight :(

Alan,
Those were in Moraga, lots of parking,fun all day and warm. Oh, five minutes drive time helps.
Jonathan,
I always watch the Boston Pops fireworks show after I get back from the real thing. If you have access to a TV the Boston show is spectacular.

We didn't go and see any of the big events. But we did go over a friends house, and see some "Safe and Sane" fireworks.

Kevin, those were fantastic shots!

Alan, why didn't you just spell out California Photo Forum with those sparklers?

[Killjoy]

Roger, the girls could probably have done it. (at least the initials) But the four year old little boy? Uh uh.

I had enough trouble getting them to all get the sparklers lit at the same time. :D

They had a short burn time.

The first one looks like the flash fired on you and the shutter was still open for a few seconds afterwards.
That has got to be you and your older sister ;-) tell her that.

Funny you should mention the first photo Kevin.
When I looked at it, and read the post, I guess I just glanced over it.
I first thought is said dragged the shutter, not dragged to dinner.

But yes, it does look like either a double exposure, or a long exposure.

and that is what happens when you let people change setting on your camera,
I have now learned never to let anyone touch my camera.
