Those are some nice crisp fireworks shots bryanwny... I have only ever tried fireworks once and that was with a tripod, remote release and longish exposures.. The results were petty bad as the bust of light as the fireworks explode over-expose the shot... This was best of the lot

Id say hand held seems better... So ill give that a try

@Humperdinkel :- I see a slight tendency to over expose in your shots.... if thats not on purpose then try to drop your exposure by a step or two. Software post processing can add a step of light if needed, but removing light is near impossible... If it is on purpose then i'll stfu and :spank: myself... :BLAA:

I wouldn't think your issue has anything to do with handheld vs tripod. I think it's an issue of long shutter times combined with too many fireworks blowing up in the shot. I noticed that if I tried getting really long exposures that had multiple bursts in the pic (like the grand finale), they looked like a damn mess of light, as you said. I'm going to mess around next time with some sort of a black card to put it in front of the lens to limit the flooding of light, but still capture multiple bursts with the longer exposure time. I remember reading a "tip" about it 15 mins before I was leaving last year, but I didn't try it as I had just crammed enough other information quickly into my brain lol.

What do you reckon ?? Better or still a little over exposed :don'tknow: Im happy to take any suggestions onboard coz im still learning :thumbup:

A lot of awesome photos in here gals & guys!!! Here are a few of my shots from all the areas of photography I enjoy:

I don't wanna flood this thread so if anyone is interested you can check out my port @ Art Shots | Facebook

Cheers!

 

[bryanwny]

Some EXCELLENT photos there, zmeiaspas! Now stop making the rest of us look like we're amateurs!! Errr, I am. Carry on!!! Inspirational to say the least!

EDIT: In that first pic, in the dark night sky, are all those spots from crap on your lens or sensor? I have one blue and one red pixel that appear consistently in my shots and it's starting to annoy me Pretty easy to remove in Photoshop, and it's only noticeable where in a dark area such as yours above.

In the first one.. the flowers are washed out a bit.. too much fill flash maybe?

The second one is just perfect... its now my desktop intact.. awesome job !

Those are just stars but I do have a lot of crap on my sensor that I never get around to clean up. My last camera used to have a few dead pixels that appeared on all shots but I just ignored them too although it is annoying when you know they're there

Thanks for the kind words - much appreciated

Cheers!

I swear kittens get pumped with some sort of wacky juice and it takes about 10 months for them to come down off it. Dan we will all happily wait for a follow up video.
I love what cats do, some of the funniest stuff on the interweb is kittens

Kittens are such a sweet animal to watch play , there is something soothing about them :thumbup:

There will be heaps of video & if you want me to share then thats what I shall do

She is sitting here on the computer desk with me & going mental at the F5 key , all other keys are fine except that one This is my 4th attempt at posting because I ( more she ) have discovered the F5 key deletes all you have typed INSTANTLY :rof:

One of our former foster puppies decided that the S key needed a good smack. Now it only works part of the time. I have to "edit" about 20% of the words that have "s"s in them! LOL

This bee wasn't as photogenic as Humperdinkel's! Some other random shots too.

That last one. What is that? Because I have seen one of those in my house before.

Excellent shots by the way :thumbup:
