Last week I went to the Chattanooga Riverbend festival and enjoyed a lot of good music. I also took advantage of using my camera. This first picture was taken right at dusk of a person selling all sorts of goodies that lite up. Popup Linkilluminated person Because she was moving and so were the lights this is how it came out. The next three are from the fireworks on Saturday night to end the festival. They are also my first attempt ever at shooting fireworks.

    I like the firework shots. I would love to take some this year with a slow shutter speed but can't. We go out on a lake and hook about 15-20 pontoons together. So there is NO holding still. So mine are always with faster shutter speed.
