This was the 4th of July fireworks display in Taos NM – the first time I’d ever seen it. It started before the sky was totally dark, which afforded some NICE cloud background. Also, the air is very dry, which I think must favor nice sharp photos. I was shooting the 17-40 at ISO200, f/7-10, 2-5sec exposures using a cable release. Toward the end, I went to bulb mode and manually started/stopped the exposures, since they were throwing up SO much stuff at one time!
What Else – ?
