 4th Of July Fireworks

 

I spent the evening at the Salem Fair Fireworks show for the 4th of July photographing all of the beautiful lights and motion.  The setup I used for this photograph was my Canon 6D  with the 17-40mm F4L mounted on a Inudro tripod and I controlled the exposure with my Promote Control. Some of the problems you have to deal with in a situation like this is finding a balance between the lights of the rides and fair grounds and the fireworks. By using a manual shutter hold on the remote I could quickly look at the histogram and see immediately if I need to lengthen or shorten my exposure.

I also had a second camera setup Sony A6000 with the 16-50mm lens shooting a timelapse video using the Sony Timelapse App which can be found below.

Playing Around With Multiple Exposures

Shooting Multiple Exposures Canon 6D

I just got my Canon 6D back from Canon Professional Services and I have to say the level of service I received was even better than I expected! The repairs were done super fast the communication was spot on and they fixed my camera under warranty for free! Once I had the camera back I wanted to go out and test it right away so I took a trip up to Mill Mountain in Roanoke, VA and decided to shoot a multiple exposure image, first shot was the star then turned around and positioned this star over the city below. Editing was very simple adjusted the blacks slightly in Lightroom and did some cleanup to remove a sign on the lower left in Photoshop CC. (Note to self remember to check the settings in your camera after repairs… mine was set back to jpg and not raw)
