You did a beautiful job on this Fireworks series. What settings did you use to take them (length of exposure, especially)? #1160688

Now this is a fireworks show! Love the exposure and clarity Leland! The pink water is the frosting on the cake, so to speak! :-) #7794965

Kathy, Joannie and Erica ... thanks so much for your comments ... much appreciated.

Kathy ... to answer your question, I used the "bulb" exposure on the fireworks. I would begin the exposure when the fireworks went up and would not close it until it had almost completed ... most of the time was 10 - 15 seconds. #7798282
