Fireworks from New York
Jul 8, 2013 22:37:46 #
Thanks to the suggestions of a few UHH I made my way down to Hoboken by way of the Path train and enjoyed the fireworks. Found a little park down off 10th, set up the camera and enjoyed the show. Here are just a few of the shots I captured. In style, NY had two barges shooting off fireworks simultaneously. My vantage point captured both displays.
I was close and the fireworks so bright I only used 4'seconds shutter speed to keep from blowing the photos out. Shutter speed priority 4 seconds ISO100 F/14

I was close and the fireworks so bright I could only use 4 second shutter speed. Shutter speed priority 4 seconds ISO100 F/9

While your shots are OK as far as fireworks go, there is nothing else to make them special. Maybe try and shoot the NY skyline and have the fireworks as the eye candy.
Your 4 second exposure comment regarding blowing out the photo I would assume you are referring to the fireworks and as each explosion only lasts for a second or so the shutter speed does not do the exposing so leaving the shutter open for, say, 15 seconds and that will only add more explosions into each photo and not blow them out. The longer time will eventually brighten the sky so you need to find the happy medium. Having shot from Hoboken before I found that a 15 second exposure at f11 kept my skies dark (enough considering all the light pollution) and gave me good skyline exposures.
Fireworks are a blast to shoot. Double pun intended.

Here is a shot at F/11 ISO100 and 10 second shutter speed, taken early in the show. From my point these are Over exposed. And yes the sky line would have added tons of interest, but from my vantage point I was shooting Up the river and Not across. Can't win them all.

fstop22,
Oh my goodness. I have never seen such beautiful fireworks. You are so luck to see that. We don't have anything like that for fireworks here. Small town, low budget if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing your wonderful shots.
