Recently I had a chance to see a lighted boat parade. Something I had never seen before. I was really at a loss as to what settings would be best. I have shot lights at night with a slow shutter speed but these boats were moving. Some of them at a good pace. What I ended up doing was setting my Canon EOS 10D to "Program" and shooting at different ISO settings. Some of the shoots I panned to keep up with the boats and others I did not. My question is, is there any kind of a rule for this situation? I have uploaded a few of what I took, and that is my second question, are these as good as it is going to get for the particular situation or are they completely off base.
Thanks in advance.
Rhonda
