RESCHEDULED TO JULY 21st.

OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS AND GUESTS.
Bring out your tripods and let’s shoot fireworks after an upcoming Reds-Diamondbacks Friday night baseball game. The fireworks will start approximately 15 minutes after the conclusion of the game. Game time is 7:10 pm. With the new pitch clock games are lasting 2.5 hours now, so you might want to be setup and in position by no later than 9:00 pm in the event of a quick game, and to help garner a parking spot in the General James Taylor parking lot. If filled, go around to Central Ave and park nearby and walk over the flood wall. There are park benches in General James Taylor Park, so if you get there earlier you might snag a place to sit else bring a folding chair and relax.

If you are new to photographing fireworks take a look at this site:

If you are looking to expand your firework shooting technique try your hand at this technique – Spiky Fireworks (but it takes practice and with luck you’ll get 4-5 shots).

PRE-FIRE WORKS REVIEW: I will have a one page handout with key tips for shooting fireworks (regular & spiky), available at the event. We can review those camera settings before the fireworks begin.
