Nacogdoches puts on a great show each July 4th and last night was no exception. We had a great time with many friends and family coming out to enjoy the fun. It was great when the Ice Cream "man" passed by and the kids screamed, causing them to turn around. As you can see, the kids throughly enjoyed their treats.
Once the fireworks started, I moved to a few different spots capturing the event. If you ever want to photograph fireworks, here are a few tips:
1. Use a tripod and long shutter speeds, somewhere around 8 seconds. I captured these on Manual mode with an aperture of 5.6.
2. Watch and listen for several bursts, then click the shutter. Takes some luck to capture the perfect timing.
3. Set your color balance to incandescent or around 2800K.
