Jared’s Fireworks Extravaganza

Colin M | July 5, 2008 | 3:31 pm

With some $800 worth of fireworks, Jared and Co. put on quite the fireworks display this year!  I’ve missed out the last two years due to internships elsewhere in the country, so it was great to see everyone and placate my inner pryo a bit :-)

Also gave me a chance to play with my camera a bit again.  It has a pretty decent Fireworks shot mode, which seems to take about 2 seconds worth of exposure data, and then immediately process it in the onboard Digic III processor to highlight the fireworks and darken the rest of the image.  The results were quite decent, in spite of my unsteady hands.

Here’s a few shots I took last night:

This is what $800 of fireworks looks like, pre-launch.
