"Faulty Fireworks"
No, there was nothing wrong with the fireworks that we saw. They were pretty good. Our city had its fireworks display last night. It was a fun comity celebration with music and fun. And best of all, it was free!
I was excited to try and get some decent fireworks shot. I have not been very successful with this in the past. Now I know why.
This morning, after I had taken a bunch of less than impressive pictures last night, I got an email with several helpful hints for shooting fireworks. I discovered that my photos are bad because all of my settings were off, some of them REALLY off. I'm not sure how I miscalculated this process so badly, but I did. And now I know what to do next year.
I spent all of today preparing a Keynote presentation for a conference that I speaking at this weekend so I had no time for a second attempt on the fireworks photos. These will just have to do for this year.
Next year I'll know better.
Happy Fourth of July to all of you!
