My First Fireworks Attempt

[Digiman]

Took some shots at the NDP preview. Unfortunately, being the first attempt, didn't even know the best spot to be. So, can't get nice buildings etc included in the pics

Thanks for the compliments, jnet6 & coldfish.

Thanx for the info bro,

As for the focusing part, did you pre-focus the ground directly below the fireworks or somewhere in front of it?

Heh heh...Now that I've seen everyone's SFF04 shots, I think I'm getting the idea for my next outing...

I just used manual focus & keep it at infinity..
