that's where the famous saying, and unofficial T-MIP motto came from

f/8 and be there!!!!!!!

 

Here's something a little different. Shot at a faster shutter speed (1/30 sec) ISO 1600 F4. I did not want to use a tripod this time.
I really like the how the smoke looks.

That is a great pic!!

 

Excellent shot, Joe! The framing compliments it very well also! 8)

 

I'll play too. Here's a couple of my favorites from my trip this past April...

Thanks guys. The overhang isn't a problem as long as you are at the railing. I almost didn't take #2 because it started to rain hard about 5 min before the fireworks were going to start... Fortunately I found an extra trash bag nearby to keep the camera dry with.

Here's one more I forgot I had.

Very nice! One question, where were you at when you took the ones from the lagoon. I have taken pictures from the beach at the Poly, and the trees cut off the bottom of the castle.

 

I was thinking the same thing...

Wow! Just Wow!

 

So is the general consensus that the dock at the TTC offers the best angle for long range fireworks shooting?

I'm thinking of trying that this year, but just once, so I want to get it right.

 

There was no one at the dock when I took those photos. A couple of people got off the ferry during the show, but that was it. I set up just outside the exit gate at the dock. A couple of people tried to watch the show from the exit ramp, but were told to leave by the ferry captain for their safety.
