Oooh!... Aaah!...

Here are the first fireworks photo's that i have ever taken.Both have been cropped and have had a wb adjustment in raw.(if it needed any wb at all).The first had a minor saturation adjustment in CS3 and the second is as is with no other adjustments.C&C are very welcome.Thanks...Ron.

Here are the first fireworks photo's that i have ever taken.

And very successfully, I'd say.

I appreciate you went to include the moon in the first one, but maybe the result is that you get left with a lot of empty space on the right hand side. In the second one, the firework explosion fills the frame and makes a big impact.

Thanks Donald.Have a few more to do and will keep in mind about the crop.Thans for viewing...Ron.

Here's another of my fireworks photo's.No wb done this time in raw conversion.Boosted the saturations of the reds,magentas,and yellows(maybe a little to much on the yellows).The burst was cut off at the top so i cropped the other three edges to try and balance out the image.C&C are very welcome.Thanks...Ron.


ISO 400,f/11,1.6 sec,40mm,PP in CS3,Tripod mounted with cable release.

Hi Ron;

Very nice captures of the way you say this event...

Nice moon, I've never seen this "plus" before - so "at-a-boy" !!!

From a "art" and not a technical point-of-view, empty space often works very well, I causes your eye to be drawn to the subject verse a "got-a-fill" all the space point of view. Check the old masters (and the new one too) less is more....

Fireworks can be problematic, but you, good job, conquered them...

(my credits: 25 years professional, that means "making your living (and sending kids to college), teaching at University and newspaper Feature Photographer", just let'in ya know, not brag-in

Great - Job, If you would like a more productive a detailed suggestions, eh, just let me know, I've trained and more importantly "mentored" a handful of talented shooter each year. I can teach techniques, but I can't teach talent... you have talent. c-ya, paul
