Nice job kxvet. I really like fireworks but I've never been able to capture them that well. Way to go!

Very nice job!

What settings did you use, if you don't mind me asking? I am planning on doing some fireworks this summer and not sure the best way. I do have the tripod and remote shutter release but not sure where I should keep my settings!

Wow neighbor you did a great job on those!! I have to ask how you did it, cuz mine have never come out !!

My daughter was so mad that we were away last night and she couldn't go to the sky show. I would show her these, but I bet it would make it worse

Thanks guys and happy Memorial Day. I tried the cameras "fireworks setting, but it didn't give me the look I was trying for, so I went to shutter priority mode and here are the settings:
Lens -14mm
Exposure comp -at -5.0EV
Shutter - Bounced between 6 and 8 secs. The last one is 8 the other 2 are 6secs.
ISO - 100
F 22
