Bawx Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Surely other people must have taken pictures of July 4th Fireworks. I took some with a $80 Point-and-Shoot in Boston, MA, USA. John Cougar Mellencamp performed and Craig Ferguson was the host. Batteries were dead from the beginning so I could only take 1 every 5 min.

Gamerhomie Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I tried, but mine aren't as good. I tried to steady the camera while bugs were gnawing at my head. :( And right before the finale, the camera died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 5, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 5, 2007 I love long-exposure shots. Nice pictures, both of you. I on the other hand didn't even see fireworks... My family was just hanging out here at home, and we were playing the Wii :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted July 5, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted July 5, 2007 I wish I had a highend camera cause most of mine didn't turn out. But they were amazing here in Ottawa. (both 1 & 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawx Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah I wish I had a nice camera that you can change settings and that cool stuff. I just had my cousins crap camera in my pocket with dead batteries. I couldn't even choose what to shoot, if the camera didn't die right away, I clicked! The Boston fireworks was said to be Americas #1 spot this year, and we were standing right next to the 2 barges so we could see them launch of the deck. It was insane. I like that big secod gold one.

christracy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 i took pics at the Fireworks on the Esplanade as well, it was raining and some drops got on the lens. I should have thrown on my lens hood to block some of the drops but it didn't dawn on me until it was too late to even bother. one more post to follow...last two...
