This year was the first year that Eliot has ever seen fireworks. His new babysitter, Christina, invited the 3 of us to go with her and her family and friends to the Danvers fireworks. We went and sat around for what felt like FOREVER (in that humidity and heat) waiting for it to be dark enough for them to let of the fireworks. Eliot was a trooper. He was having a pretty good time...until.. the fireworks started. After that, he had an AMAZING time! He LOVED seeing the fireworks! He was out wayyyy past his bedtime (even though we didn't even stay for the whole display), but maybe it will be one of those happy early childhood memories he'll keep in the back of his brain for decades to come :)
And for any photography buffs, I shot the above photos at ISO500 f/1.2 on a FULL FRAME camera-- and still my shutter speed wasn't fast enough to keep up with simple motion (or even camera shake)-- THAT'S how pitch black it was outside before the fireworks!
I think you did a good job considering the available light. Personally I didn't notice any movement. I think you did good. Well done.
