A New Smilebox

is next. Our Llano Photography club has several chores for the summer, one is fireworks. My latest attempt was last week at the Iowa Cubs AAA baseball game vs Omaha. CUBS WON! Our instructions for great fireworks said to go manual, with f-8 or f-11 and ISO 100 or 200. I set my camera for f-8 and ISO 200. After about five shots, I checked the pictures, no good, too dark. I changed to the sports setting. The camera let me do a quick one frame shot or multiple shots. I did not have a choice for the foreground, due to our reserved seats and I felt I should have used a smaller zoom lens and had NO tripod. The fireworks show was only about 10 minutes long, so I kept shooting and ended up with only about 25 shots, they are fun to examine. I really like the ones with the puffs of smoke. I wish I had the smaller camera ready to shoot a movie, the finale was awesome with some big BOOOOMS!
