Jan -- I'd take shooting from my backyard every time over fighting for tripod space among the many thousands of viewers. Sounds like a great setup! From the relative size of the bursts in the frame, it's probably better to photograph them from a distance. Great stuff!

We watch the fireworks from our back yard (of course all of the outside and inside lights were off so it was really dark) and since 1997 they have always set them off in the same direction. I used a tri-pod, manual setting, mirror lock up (I think), shutter speed on this one was 9 sec @ F11, ISO 100, focal was 35 mm, no flash. I used a remote shutter release and once I saw the rocket streak going up I pressed the button and held until that particular burst was finished. There were a number of shots during the finale where I just held the button down. Those shots were filled with bursts of color all over, but the pictures weren't as clear as this one. You should try shooting fireworks - lots of fun. Have thought about going up to the stadium (about 1/2 mile from our house) and setting up there and getting some really close up shots, but it is so nice here in my back yard knowing that I don't have to be squished in with 10,000-15,000+ people to watch not to mention trying to get out of there when it's over and back home. Thanks for the comment.

Very nicely done! You've achieved crisp focus here. I like this one best, too, of your fireworks shots. I really like the contrast of the blue & white burst above the red burst and the fainter green burst nestled beneath. I've never tried to shoot fireworks. Do you prefocus on a set point?
Cheers,
-Mike.
