After you've had a chance to review yor pics, let us know what settings worked best. Couldn't get out tonight, no babysitter,but I want to go down to Carss Park on Australia Day and have a go at this fireworks thing

Can't wait to see a bigger version... 'm stuck at home tonight (2 little ones in bed).

I think I settled on F5.6-8 for about 8-10 seconds. I know it's been recommended to use a smaller aperture, but I was finding there was too much in the longer exposures, and from the vantage point I had, it all ran into itself. So I settled on a shorter exposure, and am reasonably happy with the results
This one is a quick pano I took after the 9pm fireworks before I left...
Yes, I know it's tiny!

Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:17 amWow, nice shots Sheepie, and fast. It's nice to see what the new year will bring since we are still stuck in the past out here!!!!!
What lens and settings did you shoot, maybe I will have a go tonight. Still have a few hours to decide

Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:29 amHi Andy - the wide shots were with the kit lens, and the closer in shots with the 70-300G, all mounted on my Manfrotto Tripod
Maybe by next year I will have a slightly sharper zoom and also get a better spot (I was perched on the edge of a hill, at about a 30 degree angle, just next to a 60 degree slope!).
By the way, am in the process now of posting more shots - no computer PP on these, as they were out of the camera (well, OK, smugmug do PP of sorts when I put them up, but you know what I mean!)....

That first pic you posted is my fave. It's a really nice perspective and well composed. Well done.
Thanks for showing them

Hey Sheepie,
What do you mean by this? I use Smugmug and I am not sure what PP you are referring to?
Cheers,

More a reference to our discussion on just what PP really is - Smugmug change the size of the file you send in for the various views (small, medium, large, original) - it is this I was referring to. Nothing to be concerned with
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 7:58 amWell done Sheepie, really caught the evening
