Back Yard fireworks with hand held 5D MK II and 15mm FE.  The camera was moving, I did not have a tripod along.

The shells are not huge ones like the commercial display, and I was only 20 to 30 ft back.  It was raining, but no problem for the camera or lens, but I did remove a few water drops in PP.
