Wow! Fireworks are hard. This is lovely.

Thank you! It was one of dozens I took that night, I am not afraid to admit. :)

Beautiful! Getting pictures of fireworks that make you feel as if you were there are so hard to get.

What camera/settings did you use?

[jamie]

ISO 100, 28mm (to get as little grain as possible and as wide as possible). 2.5sec at f/14

I had the camera on my tripod (set as short as it would go and point up at a pretty sharp angle and used a cable shutter release to reduce shake.

2.5sec lets you get the whole burst or several bursts at different stages in each shot. f/14 for the depth of field.

I did shorter and longer shots on the same night as I played with it.

I will definitely be trying this in July. Again, you did great work, thank you for sharing! :)
