Mike Lane > When I got my 20D, I couldn't wait to try my hand at shooting fireworks.
Mike Lane > I'm not much into baseball really, but I am very into fireworks.
Mike Lane > I love going to baseball games to see the fireworks.
Mike Lane > I'm a little out of practice.  I forgot to bring my remote shutter release.  So all of these shots were done with my hand on the camera (which was on a tripod of course).
Mike Lane > My goal with these shots was to get a little more sense of the size of the fireworks by getting part of the stadium in the shot.
Mike Lane > This year i wanted to try something a bit different.  My wife, my brother-in-law David, and I decided to go to the opening day game of the Rainers.
Mike Lane > I shot the fireworks at the Tacoma Rainiers games a lot last year.  They were excellent practice for the 4th of July fireworks show at Gasworks Park in 2005 (that gallery is on my site by the way).
Mike Lane > Fireworks has a little skill and a lot of luck involved.  You throw away a lot of images.  But the ones you get are striking.
Mike Lane > Well it turns out that I love shooting fireworks.  It is shots like this one that make it all worth it.  The fireworks nearly filled the image here.  Wow!
