Chinese New Year, An Adventure in Camera Shake.
Nothing too exciting, just a few selected firework shots. 800x600 versions linked from the thumbnails.

I will readily acknowledge that I was ill-prepared for this shooting event. I am still far from comfortable with the fully manual modes of my camera and, frankly, I have my doubts that any camera in the world has a suitable auto mode for catching fireworks. These shots (and everything else taken last night) were all taken, of necessity, in full manual mode and without auto-focus. The few shots I did take in the standard night shooting modes were deleted on viewing as they were universally black or off-white screens. I did take the tripod, but the combination of fast moving targets, sky-pointing camera, vast crowds, occasional need to move swiftly away from explosives and requirement for fast access to controls meant it was just not feasible for use. |
