I shoot them a little different. These 3 were taken with 5D, MLU, 135mm f/2 lens at f/4.5 (AV) and ISO 125. Brgds, Dave



Very nice, Dave. Looks like a shower of sparkles!

In preparation for the July 4th fireworks, I did some "warm ups" today at the TD Bank Celebrate America! fireworks show out at Eisenhower Park...

Very nice, Tim. The people and boat in the foreground looks like Washington crossing the Delaware.

Some magical shots here, Robert. Love the ones relecting on water.

Terrific shots! That first one's got some wonderfully wild wayward flares!

Thanks Wing. I've been busy...there was an Independence Celebration fireworks show in Astoria yesterday. Obviously I had to go and exercise my shutter finger to make sure it is in good working order for this Saturday .

Wow, these last few looks like a nice poster or postcard, maybe you should market it to the city of Astoria.

Drum tower dedication in a remote village in China.

Very nice, Jamato.....looks like just a little too much gun powder!?

Happy 4th all!

Here's one taken last week at Detroit's Freedom Weekend fireworks.



Will be going to Bay City (MI) on July 4th hoping to capture more!

Here's a few from tonight...

This first one has red clouds because everyone around the lake puts road flares out at their waterfront for an event called "ring of fire" and a professional company comes in and does fireworks to music. We just got back, it was a great show!

Jones Beach, LI, NY w/1DsIII & 35-350L.

Interesting angle, I can see the sparkles in their eyes.

Great vantage point. The silhouetted foreground adds a another dimension to the fireworks. What city is this?

Honolulu town, capital of the Kingdom and Republic of Hawaii (gathering place of many cars).
