Few things are more 4th of July then sparklers. They bring the kid out in almost anyone. The cool thing about growing up though is you get all sorts of new and expensive toys that can help making things much cooler. Until we picked up our first DSLR, I would have never thought about playing with the shutter speed on fireworks. The big advantage of having a camera with all this functionality is you have some many possiblities to capture interesting photographs. The photos below represent only two of the 60+ sparklers that we went through that night along with several more adult fireworks. First is my attempt at making a hostess cupcake swirl.
Of course, I had to be up-staged by my sister-in-law. A truly awesome rendition of a hostess cupcake.
Unfortunately, the booth that sold the fireworks were closed the day after the 4th so we couldn't try this again but it was fun while it lasted.
On the technical side, all shoots were done under shutter priority (Tv) at a shutter speed ranging from 4" to 15". ISO was up at 1600 to capture as much light as possible.
