Default A try at fireworks

The county fair was last week and I brought my camera to take pictures of the fireworks. I didn't have time to set up the tripod, so some of them didn't turn out how I wanted, but I think I got a few good shots. Keep in mind this is my first time shooting fireworks.

I would say those were very nicely done, especially for the first time and especially hand held. I enjoyed looking!
