Photographing Fireworks
I’ve never been much of a photographer, but a few months ago I bought a Canon Digital Rebel XTi (due to the pleading of my wife). It’s a pre-professional grade 10.1 megapixel camera that takes amazing photos. Of course, we just kept it on automatic and used it like all our other cameras.
Well this past week my wife and I sat down with my brother-in-law who taught us some great photography techniques. I don’t usually post personal images, but these two were too good to pass up. Both of these images were taken on my digital camera by my wife. None of them have been edited or doctored in anyway (aside from being resized).

The sparkler name is fantastic, haha. I won’t even venture to admit the number of times I’ve tried doing that with sparklers, candles, match sticks, etc… let alone being successful capturing it with a camera. Well done. :-)

LOL, I think we took several hundred pictures during the fireworks. And out of that an entire 12-15 turned out. Man, thank goodness for digital cameras!
Horoshaya infa!
