Fireworks 2015

[captmjk16]

Here's a few highlights from the two fireworks displays I attended this year.

The first was the lakefront show in Michigan shot from the marina where my family keeps our boat, and the second was shot from the Groton side of the Thames River during Connecticut Sailfest the following weekend. Enjoy!

First Michigan.

I brought a little piece of the east coast with me to try and emulate some of the TV coverage double exposure type shots.

Thanks for looking!

That next to last shot is fantastic, it's great to stare at

Thanks William! I've found that I can get some really cool shots like that with the 70-200 once I get the settings (and area I'm pointing) dialed in! I've already got more ideas for how to improve those for next year, problem is, it's still about 49 weeks away...

Very nice! I like the lego figures and how they work in!

Fireworks are one of my favorite things to photograph. Would it be okay if I posted some of my pictures here as well?

I just noticed this thread...I only shot at one show this year. Here are my only two shots worth keeping.
