HAPPY July 4th, 2013 - share your firework photos here

A few of the San Francisco show. I'd like more detail in the background, but considering it was shot from about 3.5-4 miles away or so, it's not too bad. Shot with my 70-200 F4 IS, some heavily cropped; forgot to take my 1.4x teleconverter.

If you squint you might be able to see they projected red & blue with white stars on Coit Tower in the lower left.

The first and the last photos are AWESOME ... especially the first one, very unique fireworks.

Thank you, those are two of my favs too, because I don't recall seeing fireworks exactly like those before.

Cali_PH,

Thanks so much!

Some of these are amazing.

My ego will no longer allow me to attempt to take fireworks photos . . . for now

For everyone wondering how they get all the pretty colors. This isn't actually mine, but sharing because it's pretty relevant.

Magnesium gets no love?

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho shot across the lake from about 2 miles away (6D, 70-200 F4L + 2X) at 330mm/f8, cropped and black point adjusted (need to learn more about post for fireworks)

ok, this isn't a 4th July firework, it's a 5th November sparkler. Playing around with exposures times gives some interesting effects.
