Fireworks...July 4, 2006

Last year I attempted some fireworks shots and failed miserably. I wasn't in a good area to shoot, too many street lights in the way. This year we went to a different spot, which was an improvement, but some trees were still in the way a bit, but overall, it was a good spot...minus the traffic afterwards!

I experimented with different exposure times, ranging from 1 second up to 30 seconds. The images here are all 20 seconds or longer. I found that the longer exposure times made for more interesting shots.
