Photographing Fireworks

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, celebrating our country's Independence Day. This year my husband & I ventured out close to home to watch the local fireworks display. I wanted to test my skills for both Night Photography and Long Exposure. Thanks to Chuck Palmer's article in the Camera Club of Brevard's newsletter, I put his instructions to the test.

Here' what I got...

ISO - f16 - 18mm - 6sec

ISO - f16 - 18mm - 10 sec

ISO - f16 - 18mm - 6 sec

All of these images were captured on a tripod using my Nikon D7100 camera and my Sigma 18-250mm lens; I went totally manual with a Tungsten WB setting. I had my cable release but I forget to readjust the setting for this after I had turned the camera off :-(

Next year, I'll be a little more prepare and a little more confident, with my cable release set to fire!

Blessings,

Cheryl

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...
