I shot some the other day: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-04/ I'm actually kinda bored shooting fireworks now and don't think that I'll bother again next year. This is my favorite of the ones from this year: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-04/reduced/IMGP3833.jpg It isn't the most exciting set of fireworks, but I like that you can see the city lights around the lake. This is the best fireworks photo that I've taken with digital, even thought it was shot through window glass (and you can see some reflections from the multi-pane glass): http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/newyears2001/reduced/fireworks.jpg And a bunch from last year: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/ Some of the contact sheet ones (generated by a special mode in my old DSC-F717) are kinda fun: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/reduced/july4-03%20063.jpg http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/july4-03/reduced/july4-03%20061.jpg I agree that digital is the way to go for shooting fireworks. alex
