Last Thursday, Dad and Mom took Pilot Guy, History Boy and myself to a symphony at Conner Prairie!! It was SO fun!!! They had a lot of re-enactors there, and a group of them carried the flags during part of the program.
I, as usual, had my camera. Yes, I am addicted to photography. And proud of it!! :-D
Well, I took a lot of pictures and had fun playing with the different settings to get the correct one for taking firework pictures. Before that, though, I got some other photos...including some of the cannons that were used for one song!
I like the canisters/shells that held the blanks they fired. They made for some interesting shots. Pun intended. :-D
Now, those were some big guns!! I hadn't seen "modern" cannons before, so it was neat. Personally, I'd take a semi-automatic .22 over one of those any day. ;-D
I love reenacting! I think it would be a blast to do some day!
You can see I like the swords...
For this one (same as first sword photo), I drug the Contrast slider all the way over to the right. I know it would look bad horrible with most photos, but I think it kind of works here. Sort of gives it an old daguerreotype feel, or something!
Now...on to the fireworks!
I set my tripod up for these, because I was using 25-30 second exposures. Think of the camera shake I would have gotten if I hadn't used a tripod!! So I wouldn't be in people's way, I set it up at the branching of an asphalt path, behind people. I told Dad I probably sounded like an idiot-I was standing there all by myself giggling with glee when I saw some of cool photos I was getting!! :-D
Wahoo!! I love fireworks :-D
These are two of my favorites I got. I liked using the really long shutter speed - that way I could still enjoy the show! All I had to do was click the shutter button every 25 or 30 seconds and leave it alone ;-)
