the rain started coming in my garage haha, it was pretty bad out.

 

idk if i've posted this one here before or not. but its just a quick picture i took while at the tack a few years ago

 

Some firework pics from last night:

 

Very nice, what beautifully clear skies.

There was hella lightning last night but the ambient light from the street lights wouldn't have done well in the photographs so I didn't aim to take any.

 

What's causing the ghosting?

 

its the smoke from after the fireworks

 

i think he means it looks like the camera was moved from right to left as the picture was being taken, but the fireworks themselves still look crystal clear.

 

 

that is the smoke from the fireworks. In the first one, I tapped the tripod before the fireworks went off by accident. So it has a little light jiggle early in the exposure. And the last shot it looks like a helicopter flew into frame.

 

And here is my Storm Trooper

 

meh. need more practice

 

got to watch this lightning and fireworks at the same time from my front patio

I usually use my Nikon D700 with my 50 1.4, 80-200 2.8 or 16-28 2.8.

Central PA 4th Fest 2012

Sorry for crappy quality. Went to ANOTHER wedding this weekend, much different than the last one, Catholic ceremony with a much larger budget.

 

that is an awesome venue

 

They were married at St. Vincent De Paul Cathedral near USC, and the reception was at the very famous Vibiana, which was LA's first Catholic Cathedral, but was turned into an event center. They do fashion week and other things there. Not cheap lol.
