Default Couple of firework shots

Here are a couple of photos I took of us shooting fireworks off in my friends backyard.

20080101-DSC_0073
roman candle shot out of a lawn chair

bottle rocket shot out of a wine glass

I took these in manual mode with the exposer set to bulb, the only problem was I didn't have a tripod handy so if you zoom in you can see some camera shake(You can see two wine glasses in the bottle rocket shot). None of these has been in post processing yet( I didn't think they really needed it, other than maybe some cropping).

On your second shot, cropping it vertically may improve it. It would complement the vertical rise of the firework. It might even be interesting cropped quite close so you can see the patterns in the trails of light.
