More Fireworks

My Lucy was so excited on Monday to go see the fireworks again, Daddy was even coming this time, and she's even wearing her cool sparkly fireworks shirt her Grammy gave her.  I actually got her to sit still by putting on PBS, it's a pretty great trick.






Look at all the colors!


I thought this one looked cool in black and white.  

Also linking up with lil' miss imperfect:  fireworks 



I like the little beady light sparkles I was able to capture, and how the sky looks red at the bottom too, kinda creepy.


Love the bright purple tones in the shot.
I have to say that taking photographs of fireworks is, as my daughter would say, "easy peazy pie."  All you need is a tripod, steady hand, low iso, small aperture, and longer exposures depending on how many fireworks you want to capture.  Sometimes I had my exposure set to 15-20 seconds to capture about 4 fireworks at a time like the first 2 firework shots.  Or sometimes I set it to about 5 second exposure to capture just one, like the red and purple ones.


Taking shots of fireworks is definitely easier than taking photos of 2 year-olds.  Trust me, I might have a little experience in that department.
