Hi Cody,

Fireworks pictures are always a welcome sight to my eyes so thanks for sharing these.
How did you take them? Did you have a chance to learn how you can improve and have more keepers the next time? Did you take a look at the related thread by Ed Bussa here? So tell us more pls.

Cheers,
 
I set up in the bed of my pickup truck cause I forgot my lawn chair, thankfully I was glad I forgot it. to many people on the beach with campfires creating smoke on the ground.
I also missed a lot of great shots cause my camera died because the battery went dead on me, and also had to change out lens in mid-stream.
I didn't even see Ed's post untill today.
Here is the stats of these shots.
Picture #1. F/11, 2 sec shutter ISO-100, lens was a 28-80mm set for 57 mm.
Picture #2. F/11, 1 sec shutter ISO-100, lens was a 28-80mm set for 65 mm.
Picture #3. F/11, 1 sec shutter ISO-100, lens was a 28-80mm set for 65 mm.
Picture #4. F/11, 1 sec shutter ISO-100, lens was a 28-80mm set for 65 mm.
 
Thanks for the link Ed, I'm going to check it out.
I really didn't see the need to use the mirror lock up option on such a small focal lenth, I might of if I had a bigger lens on.

Edit:
Ed, Those are really great shots, where were they taken at?
