Shalimar

This was my mother's favorite perfume. I'm not fond of the scent, but the bottles are so beautiful I took a bunch of pictures of the displays.

Your photography is wonderful and I have enjoyed seeing it through this thread. I am quite the shutterbug, but am just learning how to get amazing night shots --- and fireworks are easily my nemesis. Can you please share (as detailed as you wish) how (settings, tripod, standing on your head...) you got this incredible shot? Thanks! I dream of capturing the night as well as you do. Some day....

The "standing on your head" part is my personal secret, but everything else is an open book! Smile

Thanks for enjoying the photos. I enjoy sharing them on here.

There's not a lot of secrets or details to this. I have a point-and-shoot camera (one of those Canon Digital Elphs). I do have a tripod whenever I go to the parks, and it is essential to get a good shot at night, and especially the fireworks. What I normally do is set the camera to the "Manual" mode, set it to ISO100, turn off the flash, and then set it for a 2-second delay. For a non-moving object, this setting is typically adequate, and the 2-second delay lets you press the shutter, and the camera will snap a photo without it being shaken by your fingers.

Now this obviously won't work with fireworks. In that case, I change the settings to the "fireworks" mode (most point-and-shoot cameras have that as a preset mode), no delay. Everything else is the same. That usually works. Unfortunately, beyond that, it is a matter of luck and a bit of skill. You need good timing in knowing when to snap a fireworks shot, and you often have no control on who walks right in front of you and block your beautiful shot.

Good luck!

I just found this picture this morning. My daughter must have taken it at some point. I really love the way that you can see her reflection (wearing mouse ears none the less). I don't think that she did that on purpose, but it turned out great!
