HB Fireworks
I shot the Huntington Beach fireworks tonight.
Tech info:
I set up my tired old Rebel XT (70,000 photos and still working!) on a tripod and ran back-to-back 8-second exposures throughout the fireworks show. I used my 5D2 as a main camera, changing the composition and exposure as the fireworks progressed. Since the Rebel images were all perfectly aligned, I selected the best ones and layered them to produce this. On the other hand, my 5D2 images, which didn't lend themselves to compositing, were much less interesting than this shot and have been relegated to the backwaters of my hard drives.
