I love the amber tones in it, set off by the brightness of the tops of the buildings and fireworks. ...But still the clever north wind was not satisfied. It spoke to her of towns yet to be visited, friends yet to be discovered...

Also, an excellent example of what the 1DMkI can do at night since I'm thinking of getting one as a back-up. Thanks for sharing! I think the 1D can do well in low light as long as you keep it below ISO800. IMO ISO1600 is terrible and ISO3200 is a total waste of time. 1D MKI + 1Ds MKI + 5D MKI Kit - EF17-35 f2.8L | EF24-70 f2.8 L | EF 100-400L IS | EF15 f2.8 | EF35L | EF50 f1.4 | EF85 f1.8 | EF135L | 580EX II | 580EX I | 270EX II | G12

It's not often (read "like never") that I get a chance to shoot fireworks. When I our friend invited us over and said there was to be a fireworks display, I immediately came to the forum to search for fireworks camera settings. I found that there are many different ideas, but the research gave me a place to start. POTN is a great place to learn and show off the results! I shot over 50 photos from the 30min show...not all came out, but I learned it all comes down to timing. 1D MKI + 1Ds MKI + 5D MKI Kit - EF17-35 f2.8L | EF24-70 f2.8 L | EF 100-400L IS | EF15 f2.8 | EF35L | EF50 f1.4 | EF85 f1.8 | EF135L | 580EX II | 580EX I | 270EX II | G12

I use a 20D though, wish I could get the 1D Mk II. I am going to use the settings from your Portland shoot. Cheers. www.wendycainphotography.com
