One the the prettiest single fireworks shots I have seen. Very sharp and beautiful color!

4 x 5 or even a square crop might work well to show off this beauty. #1482855

Peter, these fireworks ran for a week, so I did lots of experimenting. for this one I was in M set on Bulb, f11,ISO 400 and held it open for 2 seconds. #10293693

Very nice Kristin...think it would look great on a wall somewhere.

I think it's interesting that fireworks always appear to be exploding towards the viewer's vantage point, with seemingly no evidence of light trails leading the opposite direction..am I the only one that notices this? #10293695

Good observation Tony, but I think if one opened the shadows in an image like this you would see the trails leading away in the background. Anyone have any raw files to experiment with that to see? #10293842

No not yet...but I did shoot RAW on the weekend...one photo...I'm working on it! #10293997
