A few shots from this morning's July 4th parade in our hometown. It was a smaller parade than last year -- a little disappointing. My great uncle. He's been in the parade for years. Sadly he's one of only two remaining WWII veterans in the parade, as we lost three others since last...

After a three year absence due to the pandemic, our hometown held its annual July 4th "Good Morning USA" parade. I took the opportunity to try out my newly acquired EF-M 18-150mm lens for my small Canon M50 mirrorless camera. We road our bicycles into town to avoid parking issues, so this camera...

They can be deadly. Columbus Blue Jackets goalie prospect killed in fireworks accident. Such a sad story.

I am not a fan of the fireworks set off in the neighborhood by the residents, but I've always loved going to a display put on by the local community. We would walk to the park, setup our folding chairs, and watch the display with thousands of other people. It brought back great memories of doing...

I miss watching and shooting fireworks. Our township stopped putting on a display a few years ago due to budget cuts. We were within walking distance of the park where the event was held each year. The annual Plymouth 4th of July parade was canceled again this year due to the pandemic. All...

Interesting idea. I may have to pick up a vari-density ND filter and tey it out. All I have now are split ND filters for landscape shots.

Thanks, Doug. That is an interesting variation in technique. I will have to give it a try next time. You are right, though, in that a lot of luck is involved. You never know how bright each burst will be, nor how long it will last, until after the fact. I get more misses than hits. Using bulb...

I like that first shot, Cameron. It looks like a beautiful setting. I wish I'd taken my 70-200mm telephoto for the parade. Instead, I used the 24-105mm, and most of my photos ended up in the 70-105mm range. I could have used more reach. Doug, Very nice. How did you handle exposure? I am still...

Here are a few shots from the holiday fireworks and local parade. I still am a beginner when it comes to fireworks.
