I think my first attempt at fireworks was a success.. 50 shots, these are the best of the bunch. I have cropped them, but that's it. This is how they came off of the card.


I've been a bit absent from some of your posts lately...I think I needed a break from it all, to be honest. I'm going to do my best to be more present in the future. I appreciate all of your visits and comments.

Nice work! I've had some good luck and some bad luck with fireworks in the past.... and I'm never sure what makes which!! :-)) DancingDolphin · 2011-07-01: 22:54

This is just amazing M! Really,really, amazing! (nntr) Keryl · 2011-07-01: 22:55

Wow! I think that these are some of the best and clearest firworks shots that I have ever seen. I love how so many pf your shots caught the tiny sparks and explosions. #9 is simply awesome!!!! danrav · 2011-07-01: 23:00

Wow, awesome shots! Now I can see fireworks without the noise ;-) Andarta · 2011-07-02: 09:11

Great shots, Marjorie! Fireworks are a little difficult because we don't get to practice very often. I think you did a really nice job! lgnelson · 2011-07-02: 10:12

These came out fantastic! Happy belated Canada Day! smbunation · 2011-07-02: 10:25

Nice fireworks shots! And take a break if you need to. Sometimes I have to do that. You can spend so much time looking at all the cool photos and you look up, you've been on PB for an hour+. Then it's like "OMG, I have ten other things I need to be doing!!" I enjoy it when I have time and other days it's all I can do is get my shot for the day posted..... lukesmom · 2011-07-02: 10:40

Wonderful photos! I never had much luck with fireworks photos. I will give it a shot Sunday night! juliearnold93 · 2011-07-02: 10:41
