Detroit-Windsor Annual Fireworks Display
All are shot with a D3100 50mm f/1.8D in between F8-11 in Bulb mode on a Velbon Sherpa 200r tripod. Looking for your honest opinion on these. I have posted 5 of the images. You can go to my flickr page to check out the rest. Please remember that I was stationary the whole time and could not move to try and get more of the firework.

1) looks like the wind took some of the pyro nothing you can do about that!
2) i really like this shot(a lil off on the symmetry but good) it tells more of the story than the rest! great job!
3) id like to see the third set of pyro on the right if you have it. just to make it a nice diagonal line from top left to bottom right.
4) this is a good capture multiple bursts of pyro but i think the ren center is a little distracting!
5) i think the white burst in the upper right section takes a lot away from this image.

Thanks for the comment.. I am glad you looked over the album and like those as well. There was quite a few to choose from. Cheers

Great shots... Like how you filled the frame with the fireworks... I really like the second one with the people in the shot... feel free to check out my fireworks shots in the posting: Outside My Window - July 4th Fireworks in this same section...

That is what I get the most comments on is that photo of the fireworks. I really like it too. To bad I didn't have more from the show with people in the foreground.Rob pix4u2 wrote: Wow good shots. Love seeing fireworks pix when they are well done - especially number two
