Got an early start on fireworks photos at a friend's annual 4th of July Party on 6/28. Let's see what you get over the weekend.

It would be so awesome if the pictures could just load.
Here's a couple from last weekend. My town celebrated it's whatever anniversary and early 4th o' July. I made the mistake of sitting way too close and most of the fireworks are half off the shot... here's 2 that were at least fully in the view and not blurry. I'm going to read the tip link that was posted for sure.

I've been reading that if you use the "bulb" mode for shutter speed, and use a remote trigger, then start the exposure as soon as the firework starts(when you hear the bang), then stop the exposure when the brightest part of it has been reached.
This way you'll see the streak in the beginning and everything else till the big flash.
You don't want to leave it open much past the big flash, because then you'll also capture a lot of the smoke as well.
