I don't take many cool shots :scratch. I was going through some albums I have online and found this one though...

My first attempt at "long exposure", fourth of July 2006.

1.6 sec, F16 @ 38mm. Flash and handheld.



Here is my first shot of fireworks, I didn't know they were going to happen. I was at a Big & Rich concert, right up near the stage and POOF!....er BANG?!

1/250, 70mm F4 and again handheld.

I think it looks kinda cool though.



All comments welcome. :)

The first shot looks alive doesnt it, and the second looks like the colours and working of deep out space ... a very cool shot :thumb ... Skippy

Yeah, I seriously thought #2 was a nebula or something from a telescope setup. Neat stuff... :clap :clap

Really nice! I love the subtle fill flash with the sparkler, and I really did think the second shot was through a telescope. :D

That does look like a Hubble shot there. The first is cool too, I love those kind of shots. But the person looks a bit strange in this one.

Thanks Skippy, Hyson, Schmoo, Awais, Seneca, and BCooper. :)
I actually like this one better, except that it's slightly out of focus.

BCooper, I know what you mean. Part of is that I hand held the shot and either I moved the camera or Mr. Allen (my friend's dad) moved so his face is kinda......melted. Also, since this was the first time I'd tried this I didn't make sure there was nothing behind him. So, in post I dumped some black paint behind him and I didn't realize that is kinda chopped his face a bit, on his right side.

Here are some uneditted shots form the same night. :)
