Fireworks Photography Tips
Jul 4, 2010 Photography Discussion
In the spirit of the 4th of July, here are some tips to help you get some great fireworks photos.
- Think SLOW. Slow the shutter speed to get the trail effect of the fireworks
- Use a Tri-Pod or anything to stabilize your camera. This is probably the most important tip.
- Anticipate the apex of the explosion.
- Use the lowest ISO setting possible
- Use the Live View feature of your camera if you have one
- Enjoy, Have Fun and be Patient. (More often than not great photography are an exercise in patience.)
Have a happy and safe 4th of July. Here’s a link to another article How To Get Fireworks Photos from Digital Photography School. ~ Enjoy

Photography FAIL
Jun 10, 2010 Photography Discussion
The biggest photo fail of the year. Yeah that’s a bold statement but I’m running with it. My Photo365 Project has ceased. (Click here for a link to previous photo 365 video post.)
I have a million reasons why. Well, maybe not a million but there are some reasons why it happened. The main reason – I lost interest. You know I’m a fan of transparency, so there you have it. I lost interest in the project and I’m disappointed.
I noticed interest started to wane when I stopped editing the photos in Aperture. After that I start I stopped importing the shots from my camera. Now we are at this point where I have missed several days in a row and I don’t seeing it starting up again. (Plus, self portraits everyday is harder than it sounds.)
It’s been said that true success can’t be measured until after you experience failure. I look forward to being on the other side of that coin soon.
Have you ever experienced an artistic or photography failure? Please share it and get it off your chest.
