Firework Flops

Frogherder · 2012-06-03T12:53:37+0100

Late last night in pouring rain I watched a firework 'party' and took some 40 shots of the event. The following are some of the best, BUT, I don't find them particulary inspiring. So.... What went wrong? . How do I improve next time? . Bearing in mind the opportunities to practice are somewhat fleeting. Exif for both :- K5+55mm (kit lens); 1/10s@f7.1; ISO400 The shutter speed of 1/10s was to get some form of display. by 1/30th there was just dots, of which I have many. regards Bernard

Mike/Steve. Exactly what I was hoping to get.

Gareth. I'll worry about PS when I've managed to get shots I'm happy with.

My previous attempts were generally fairly similar to yours. Using a tripod & wider lens makes all the difference.
