From The 4th

Using some suggestions from @ronlane I was able to do some decent fireworks shots Saturday night at the RV Resort we were at. The fireworks were okay for a small show, just not multiple burst that you might expect at larger events. These were all shot at 45mm, F/11, at 5secs, then composited into the single image here. Using Ron's suggestion, I used manual focus to set a focal point on at about the same distance as the fireworks were going off, then left it alone.

Celebrations, cool.

Looks good. I promise you that no one will ask if that is a composite.

Thank you. These were each individual shots. I guess the park thought they could make the show last longer by firing them off one at a time.

Looks good. I promise you that no one will ask if that is a composite.

To late Mike already did. LOL Your tip on focusing on infinity, using f/11, and the levels layer really helped.

Only Photogs will have any idea about that. Most normal people will just say, that's a great shot.
