4th of July Fireworks

FStop7 · 07-05-2011, 04:34 PM

Typically fireworks are shot at a lower ISO with long exposure times to get the "streak" look. This year I wanted to stand out, so I went for high ISO and relatively short shutter speeds.

Very cool. Love the second one.

And I suppose these deserve their own thread.

He's using 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
You can view exif file, it'll tell you how he shot it and what lens.

I'm just pointing out there's an option on Flickr you can find out yourself, Im just assuming he didn't know. It literally takes two mouse clicks.

I figured it had to be a very nice lens. And that one is certainly one of the best.

you can also use the Exif add-on in firefox or whatever browser you use.

nice work, Fstop7. the first one is particularly well done.
