I don't know when I'll get to see mine in a reasonable size as my friend whose camera I used has the stuff on the same card as a big vacation trip of his - it may be Christmas before I see them :) looking forward to yours ann

Yeah, I took 90 shots in about 25 minutes. Couldn't have done that with film unless I had 2 or 3 bodies loaded and ready. Amita

I shot some the other day: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-04/ I'm actually kinda bored shooting fireworks now and don't think that I'll bother again next year. This is my favorite of the ones from this year: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-04/reduced/IMGP3833.jpg It isn't the most exciting set of fireworks, but I like that you can see the city lights around the lake. This is the best fireworks photo that I've taken with digital, even thought it was shot through window glass (and you can see some reflections from the multi-pane glass): http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/newyears2001/reduced/fireworks.jpg And a bunch from last year: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/ Some of the contact sheet ones (generated by a special mode in my old DSC-F717) are kinda fun: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/reduced/july4-03%20063.jpg http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/reduced/july4-03%20061.jpg I agree that digital is the way to go for shooting fireworks. alex

Battery Park wasn't too bad, but we weren't about to wait on line, so we had our picnic nearby and wandered over when we were done eating. > Had friends over for watching Fireworks -- > I'm getting to like shooting digital (borrowed > friends) scary, eh? :) I got excellent firewroks shots near my apt. with the istD. I don't think I'll ever shoot them with film again. It was great not having to change rolls in the dark! I'll post some soon.

Damn - I'd have loved ot see Lovett - though crowds on July 4th scrare the hell out of me so I probably wouldnt ahve gone even if I'd known about it before it was over. Had friends over for watching Fireworks -- I'm getting to like shooting digital (borrowed friends) scary, eh? ann
