individual ones yeah, but the beautiful compositions like the ones u see on magazines aren't.

Reason being, too long exposures = overexposed skies or overexposed lighted buildings.


but that's ez to fix all you do is underexpose the picture

"classic" firework shots are done with multiple shots of a same situation in photoshop. Its actually pretty boring - stack up like multiple shots of fireworks on one image to make those nice composite firework shots!


Well I think all except one or two of the photos were taken handheld with shutterspeeds of around 1/10 second, I think so it was kinda impossible for me to create a composite picture of the fireworks. When I shot those pics I was still very new to using dslr since I've only had that camera for two weeks by that time with one of the weeks having it at the repair shop to get the main LCD replaced biggrin.gif and I certainly didn't have all the equipment required blahblahblah But thanks for the advice though I sure hope I will be able to take more pics of fireworks in the future biggrin.gif

I really like your idea. It sounds fun biggrin.gif but may require some practice and luck biggrin.gif

Canon EOS 40D, my first one
and I just got a replacement earlier today and here are a few photos taken with it biggrin.gif

I decided not to create a new thread because the pics I shot aren't really interesting tongue.gif

Regina, Canada. All the photos below were taken very close to where I live. The temperature was like -20 or lower biggrin.gif

EDIT: forgot to add that those photos are the very first photos I have ever taken in Canada with my own camera, well besides those crappy low quality pics I took with my cellphone in the past lol.

haha thanks! and did you also see how cold it is?? tongue.gif
I went out for a walk this morning before I had to go to work and took a few pics and I could only stay outside with my bare hands holding the camera for like ten minutes before I couldn't bare the cold. I mean it felt like my hands were going to freeze and the pain was immense sleep.gif

EDIT: I will upload some more photos later. Going to go outside again and take some more photos tongue.gif wish me good luck biggrin.gif

haha you are such a wuss. It's like -25 outside now even though the sun is shining and all that. I just came home after my "visit" to the local mall and I am still freezing with my hands being all numb. Let me give you an advice, never ever walk around with your black metal camera in your hand when it's -25 degrees outside biggrin.gif anyway I will transfer some pics later and post them here tongue.gif

nice photo! but I think it's a lil bit overexposed. It looks like you guys had a hell of a new year smile.gif I don't know if fireworks are forbidden here in Canada or whatever course I didn't see any fireworks here in Regina, Canada on new years eve.
