Phoenix Fire, Works!

Phoenix Fire, Works! by cobalt123.
FIrst successful fireworks photo for cobalt here. This was taken at the Diamondbacks baseball game and the show was the first fireworks presentation at Chase Field. It was after the Dbacks win over the Orioles and sponsored by the Gila River Casino. The music was fun and the choreographed fireworks were precise. To get this shot, I crouched down between stadium seats and rested the camera on a chair back. Used the continuous mode for shooting and hoped for the best. Fun memory of the event.

Great job, now you can get out there on the 4th and take some more! I've got that night off and I'm looking forward to getting some, especially as there will be some just across the street!

Thanks for your visits jciv, Foxicat and Mustangly - this was a total guess that the continuous mode would work as I've never before captured fireworks decently from any of my point and shoot cameras.

@Foxicat: I'm thinking of going to South Mountain this year for the 4th. Last 2 years I was atop the Terminal 4 parking ramp where there is often a party going on and you see about 5 different locations shooting the fireworks.

Great, no amazing, no awesome, all of the above. Fireworks are super hard to get, and got this right on the money.

Congrats, I hope Az is treating you well.

Looking forward to me next visit.

Well, it actually was this red, so even though I did look at it in other colors I decided to go natural on it. I've got a few more to come, but who knows when I will get the time to edit and post them. Momentous changes going on this week.
