like every year at 4th of july there are lots of firework and bbq's around. So I made my first attempt shooting a firework.

After a couple of minutes I figured out that 70mm and 50mm are to long and switched to a 19-35mm lens. it turned out that the 35mm worked perfect for the job.

i set the exposure to 30 seconds and an aperature of 25.

Out of 20 shots, 8 turned out pretty well and can be found on
