Fireworks

Yesterday we had a great holiday in Warsaw. Every year near the day of spring/summer turn of we have nice evening events and fireworks in the old town. It's good opportunity to learn something about shooting fireworks. Now I know that the optimal options for the next time are complete manual settings, like aperture 8 or 11 and times like 1/4s or 1/8s at ISO 200. You can try to set auto focus, because it's always better option, but if you have nice equipment you can even dare to set focus manually to some point. I left my camera on auto focus and it was good idea. Unfortunately I learned all this afterward so my pictures are not perfect. Nevertheless I hope you enjoy them :)
