Not as good as Charles or Crystal but my take...

To preface, I took these from my bedroom window behind glass and a screen. I was also 2.5 miles from the fireworks. Shot at 300mm, iso 200, manual focus, f/ 11, between 2.5 sec to 1 sec.

Love the colours in the second and fourth. Great job. :)

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Excellent job. Did you "screen out" the bad ones? Sorry, the "Ban" thread ate my brain.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I Love how you can see all the little individual squiggle trails of the sparks as they spun through the air. Great job.

Just a bit- I bumped the contrast and clarity and of course cropping in photoshop.

I did screen out the bad ones, there were many, :rofl:
