Hot Stuff

Tried my hand at shooting fireworks at the local Canada Day
celebration.

http://www.blind-apertures.ca/pics/Fireworks.jpg

It was a longish exposure, about 4 secs, so the original was
fairly bright.

After a bit of Adobe tinkering, I'm told the result isn't all
that bad.

But ... What do you gurus think?

Take Care,
Dudley

It captures the atmosphere, but less exposure would have been better.
Or a smaller aperture. It's out of focus, which is the major defect I
can see.

Thanks, David, for taking a peek.

I'm not surprised it's out of focus, as I've had a ton of
trouble with that lens. Not sure why.

Also, thanks for the feedback exposure. It's a starting
point from which I can make adjustments the next time.

I think it's overexposed. I don't see it as a focus issue.

Its the new improved Google Groups.

No idea why they made it insert extra lines
in quoted text.

It also fails to snip sigs. What a pile of crap. Is there any reason not to
use a proper newsreader?

They're making the same mistake that Novell made--they're trying to take
on Microsoft without keeping their emphasis on their core competency.
