I was in Montana over July 4th and wanted to try to get some pictures of fireworks. We decided not to go to the main show in town, so I was left trying to get shots of the few things we bought, or what the neighbors were using. I set up the tripod, picked some setting based on a Scott Kelby book, and fired away. Nothing turned out. Didn’t get color really. Just white blurs mostly. Then I realized that I had left the polarizer on. No wonder it was so hard to focus in the dark! Arg. Oh well, next chance is only a year away!
