My 4th of July Fireworks Photoshoot

[Abilene06speed]

Well I went out to a local lake and set up my tripod and waited for the show to begin. I wish I would have taken my telephoto lens with me because the fireworks were a little further away than I thought.

All shots taken with a Nikon D40 with the following settings.
F8, ISO 200, Exposure between 2 and 30 seconds, raw format processed in Lightroom.

This is just a teaser as I will post up more tomorrow as I process them.

Enjoy:banana:

This particular shot I zoomed in or out during the exposure. Im not sure which cause I did both on several different shots but I think it gave the shot a neat little effect.

Well which one are you referring to? If your talking about number eight in the second set then that is my doing. I just zoomed the lens during the exposure to get that tentacle effect.

Thank you for all the compliments.
