the 4th of july presents....

well, my first ever attempt at capturing fireworks...enjoy

every year (even now that i'm in college) i go and see the fireworks at a local campground with my parents...we have this spot that is about 100 feet above ground level and the perfect distance from the fireworks to see them...best seat in the house!

p.s. some of them could have been better, but a lot of the time i was watching them and had my camera on burst mode and wasn't exactly aiming it

really wish i had this series of pics centered, but oh well

and the grande finale...

and pollution at its finest..

WoW pretty impressive ! I LOVE fireworks (when done away from residential areas so that it doesn't freak out animals and old people ).
I've never been able to capture good fire work pics - but then again I just have a 4MP Canon

Very nice pictures. I love fireworks too. I look forward to the festival of lights each year. I get 4 days of fireworks then.

Those are awesome! Much nicer than the ones I got on Victoria day (here in Canada). Well done!

Great pictures. The fireworks are so clear, did you use a tripod?

thanks for all the kind words everyone...i had the tripod with me but actually never used it...a really fast shutter speed was the key
