Happy 4th

Description

Fireworks over the San Francisco Bay, shot a few years ago. They will probably be fogged out tonight. (When it's foggy, they still do the show, shooting lower so they can be seen beneath the fog. But it's not the same at all.)

Happy Independence Day to the US folks!

Very nice and happy 4th to you. I am going to take your settings and try to get a shot tonight. #1690469

Thanks Heidi! I used "bulb" setting with a wired remote to control the exposure manually. After a few shots I get the idea of how long to keep the shutter open given the particular fireworks exploding (since some are bigger and brighter). #11616951
