Not too bad for fireworks shots with a point and shoot and no bulb mode or tripod

[fjrabon]

at least I pleasantly suprised at how these came out with just a point and shoot and no tripod. The girl I went with (Lenox firework show in Atlanta) was horrified at the idea of me bringing a tripod. And the weather looked like it might get nasty, so a left the dSLR and tripod and just grabbed the LX5.

The above was 60 second exposure, where I covered the lens with my hand in between bursts, really pleasantly surprised at how well it came out.
