Neat shots guys - I have about 150 or so to go through but this was my very first attemp tonight as a matter of fact. Shot at Fair St. Louis... I was way too close for my 50mm (my widest right now) but I shot away anyway...
Nice shots guys. I'll see how my luck goes tomorrow, but it'll be a miracle to get anything at all without a tripod or any option to set exposure time.
This is not exactly Fireworks, but just before they began here is a shot of the Eads Bridge (It spans the Mississippi, just north of the Arch.) The had lights set up on it, I was wanting to sit up there for the airshow and fireworks, but some "Private Party" had rented the bridge out just for tonight, figures. I bet it was the Busch Family, as in Annheiser-Busch. The lights were for a ceremony called meeting of the clydesdales. They apparenly had two teams of horses; one set out from LA the other NewYork... Not sure on the specifics but they met on the border of IL and MO in the middle of the Eads Bridge. So there ya have it ... I'm still sore I didn't get to set my camera up there (Such a great view of the city from up there)!
Fireworks at Magic Mountain, CA (taken from a Walmart parking lot 1 mile away). I didn't know the power lines were in the way until the fireworks started.
Taken with a Canon 20D, 80mm, f/10 & 15 second exposure.
