China new step in space

Today, China is sending 3 men to space and trying to have first time space walk. They are wearing space clothes made by China and Russian. Noticing the zipper is kind of longer than American's. I don't know why such long zipper is needed. If the space is successful for Chinese, it will be a huge step. Hopefully, China can join other countries on space program especially on International Space Station project.

Taking Fireworks Pictures

In last several years, I am learning how to take fireworks pictures. At first, I got an email from wolfcamera.com regarding how to take fireworks pictures right before a 4th of July holiday. After reading it, I tired the method and it works!

Here is the setup I am using to take wireworks pictures:

Camera: Canon Digital Rebel

Lens: Sigma Zoom 28-300mm

ISO speed: 100

Aperture: 8

Shutter speed: 3 sec

Manual exposure mode

Manual focus set to infinity

A Tripod

A wired remote
