Thanks. I had no idea. I expected to take normal pics and play with them in pp. There turned out to be quite a few interesting ones. I was pleased with the clarity of them.
Definitely a fun evening. If you are in the area this is an interesting resort... Moonshine museum is down the road. Several good restaurants. Not much else to do unless you fish or have a boat. The concert and fireworks made it worth the weekend. Will play with the Raw files this week.
Fun fireworks at Ken Lake State Park! I had no idea how close we would be to the launch zone. Still a good lesson in Bulb Exposures and related settings. Not wanting to spend too much time tinkering I only took one lens. Out of 350 shots I should have something to enjoy. Not too many color displays tonight... have colors gone out of fashion?
They had their own photog so I didn't get involved. Just a couple shots from a great restaurant in St Charles, MO. Sorry about the really small file size. I have my rig setup for an assignment tomorrow and didn't want to mess with the settings for a couple snapshots.
How manual is fully manual? Do you use a handheld light meter? Do you look at what the camera meter is telling you? or do you put your finger in the air and decide on an f stop, shutter speed and ISO? That would be fully manual.
