2016 City of Pittsburgh Feature Week Giveaway!

I received so much support from the City of Pittsburgh this year that I wanted to give back! For 1 week I shared a different image of Pittsburgh. At the end of the week, we choose 7 Winners who would receive a FREE print of their choice, up to 13"x19".

After posting and sharing the fireworks, I decided to do something fun!

People really enjoy my different prints of the City of Pittsburgh, so I decided I would do a giveaway! Being that it's my first year officially in business, I wanted a way to give back to everyone for all the support they've shown me.

So I set up a giveaway. Everyday on Facebook, I would feature a different print, and at the end of the week, I would choose 7 of the people who "liked" my Official Facebook Photography page (www.facebook.com/AdamMichaelsPhotography).

And I was super happy from the response. At the end of the week, we were able to have over 865 Likes. My posts reached over 18,000 people and over 1,078 liked, commented, or shared.

The City of Pittsburgh has supported me so much and I will always be thankful for that! Now lets check out the video and prints!

Pittsburgh Pirate Firework Photography Session

Awesome time doing some photography of the firework show after the Pittsburgh Pirate's beat the Milwaukee Brewer's!

A little personal work today. A good friend and I went up to Mt. Washington and had some fun taking pictures of the firework show after the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwakuee Brewers 5-0.

And Pirate wins always call for a celebration!

Being the first time I shot fireworks, the hardest thing was trying to guess what was coming next. You can set your composition, ISO, and aperture, but everything else after that is just a guess. Your doing long exposures where your keeping the shutter open for 3,4,5 even 10 seconds long. 

Why?

Because you never know what they have planned for the show! If you capture too many bursts it will be blown out. If its not enough you have a boring picture. And you have to be careful as the smoke starts to build from the show.

Always a fun time and I'll definitely be out to shoot more!
