Let's see those fireworks photos!

Most of mine were taken at about 4 seconds. I played around with some other times, but 4 seemed to turn out best. The only PP was to increase the blacks in Lightroom. No cropping.

Thanks! I used my brand new 18-200mm, right out of the box. I was quite pleased with the results

That is my fav lens that I carry around with me all the time. And, awesome pics!

Thanks for the 'WOW!!', lockwood. :]

Last year I concentrated on the fireworks themselves, but I was at the level where I didn't know at all what I was doing. This year I decided to really get an environmental shot, and I think the overall effect is better. I wish I could have gotten some better exposures and whatnot, but I'm not too disappointed with the end results.

Stone Mountain, GA. I wanted to be farther back to get the carving in these shots, but apparently you have to get there the day before to be anywhere than right up front.
