[QUOTE="STM, post: 566699, member: 12827"] I will admit I have not gone to a fireworks display in over 20 years. The crowds are a zoo at our beaches and you have to get there around lunchtime if you want to find a parking space that is not a mile walk away. But I did take this shot back in 1974. It is actually a multiple exposure of sorts. I had a piece of card that I spray painted flat black. I set the camera on B with a locking cable release. The card was in front of the lens. When I heard the firework go off as it was launched, I removed the card from in front of the lens. After the firework faded away, I put the card back in front of the lens. I repeated this twice more. Of course with film it was a crap shoot until you processed the film to see what you got. These were the best of all of them! This was taken with my first Nikon, a Nikkormat FT2 and 50mm f/2 Nikkor H. I am still pleased with the results 42 years later! Kodacolor II was some great stuff!
