Beautiful firework show on Bass Lake in California for the 4th of July. I used a D90 Nikon camera and varied the settings to see what I could capture. I was surprised at the results from the longer exposure images, especially since I did not use a tripod. My pictures turned out better than the ones that my daughter took with her iPhone 7.

Nice set. Where were they taken. I love the composition and colors of the first one.

I like the second color picture that your granddaughter chose. I know with my daughters, they prefer color and more natural looking pictures (they really don't like too much blurring or soft focus. All the pictures are very well done. :thumbup:

The IS stabilizes the image while being held with some movement. On a tripod the IS is still trying to stabilize movement when there is none. Causing a slightly blurred image. It can be in the body or the lens. It's more evident with telephoto lens , take a shot with it on , then the same shot with it off.

Beautiful Picture - what is the difference with the IS off vs on? I don't use a tripod vary often, so I did not realize that it was a good idea to turn it off.

Thank you for this info. I will have to check this out. This is something I did not know.

No! I don't think we have Cardinals here in California. You have some amazing shots. Thanks for sharing them. :D
I looked it up, and I was wrong, there are Cardinals in California. Now I just need to figure out where they are. I get quail, scrub jays, woodpeckers, robins, finches, and hummingbirds in my yard but no cardinals. I really appreciate that you share your awesome pictures.

Thanks. This is where a good camera, good lens, and photoshop come in handy with a bad photographer.tainkc wrote:

I don't think a bad photographer could get a shot like this. Your good camera, good lens, and photoshop (if you used it) has made your great shot look amazing. This is one awesome capture. :thumbup:

I am no expert on HDR, but I was wondering if there was a little less contrast, if there would be a little more detail. Are these created from several images at different exposures or from one image that you used to create the HDR? This looks like a great subject for HDR. :D
