First attempt at fireworks...CC welcome

Got a new ultra wide angle lens and decided trying to shoot some fireworks out at the coast this last weekend with some friends, what do you think?

Not much post processing, a touch of clarity on a few due to the extreme amount of smoke from all the fireworks and beach fires.

I like the color and how sharp #1 is. Looks like you had fun taking them. I have been wanting to shoot fireworks in Pittsburgh for years but something always seems to come up. Maybe next year for me. Anyway good first fireworks!

I really like the third one! And I think the 2nd one would have looked a lot better in portrait orientation.
