This is a fantastic series, much much much better than what I remember from my first attempt (we're talking about 55 years ago now) back in the analogue days!

Thank you so much. Out of 328 shots these were the keepers. All in all it was a great outing...lots of people there, peaceful enjoyable evening.

Thank you. Equipment used Sony a7RV and Sony 14mm 1.8 prime. Settings f11, ISO 200, 2 secs, manual focus, tripod, and manual shutter release. I used the wide angle lens because I thought the fireworks were going to be more spread out than they were. Next time I would probably use my 16-55 and zoom in a bit as I did have to crop these shots quite a bit, but the camera's 61mp sensor came to the rescue.

Thanks for the info. I always wonder about the speed so 2 sec seem to work really well
