For today, July 4th, 2011 – be happy and celebrate our freedom to take pictures!  Were it not for the events that bring us to celebrate this holiday, that may not be a right we enjoy!  The best way to celebrate?  Stop reading this blog (or any blog for that matter), go out and take a picture!  Be proud!

The Third Photo Contest, sponsored by OnOne software.  Rules and entry information are posted on Tuesday’s blog, and you can enter your photos here.

Here’s the sites and twitter folk we talk about during the show:

  • www.freelanceswitch.com
  • www.smashingmagazine.com
  • www.tutsplus.com
  • www.css-tricks.com & Chris Coyer on Twitter
  • www.w3schools.com

Shooting Fireworks

  • Use a tripod
  • Make sure you have spare batteries (and fully charge all batteries)
  • Shoot with a low ISO
  • Set your shutter between 4-8 seconds for best results
  • Try adjusting the zoom in or out for attention grabbing light trails

Enjoy the show, hosted by the folks over at Personal Life Media!  Happy shooting, and be sure to share your own tips and tricks for shooting fireworks by tomorrow and I’ll try to put all of them together along with some (hopefully) inspiring photos for enjoyment.  In the spirit of the show, don’t forget the trailing question:  What was your first camera?
