Thanks, Jeff! lI work night shift in Alpharetta, and I had to bring my extra-long hedge trimmer to cut a fresh hole in the foliage, lol Mosquitoes love it when your arms are occupied during their feeding time.

Beautiful fireworks. I find them difficult to get right. I dont know what is the best shutter speed.

I use f8, ISO100, and cable release on B. You need 0.5 to 2 sec exposures at these settings for most fireworks. Too long and they're blown out. The key is when you trip the shutter of course.
