I set out on a journey of a few firsts. First time using remote shutter release, first time playing with "Bulb" mode, first try at manual focus, and first time trying to capture fireworks.
I was about 5 miles away and my 55-250 lens was maxed out... man I wish the 50-500 I just ordered was here.
Here's a few of the better ones I got IMO. I think I could touch some of them up a little but I haven't mastered those techniques yet. I shot them all with RAW because one day, I'll get and learn Photoshop.
All of these were shot at ISO 100 with various shutter openings (usually 1-3 seconds) and all at f/11 at 250mm. Any feedback for improving the technique would be greatly welcomed. I'm only about 5 months into the dSLR hobby so I'm still learning every time I shoot.
