Post your best pictures of fireworks

I love using my Tokie 11-16 F2.8 for fireworks shots... Here are a few of my favorites - all from 1 shoot. These where shot at the Heyworth, IL Fourth of July Celebration in 2011. Hope you like them.

Hope you like them.

awesome shots!, I really wanted to shoot from that location this year but was running late and couldnt make it so i was up the narrows bridge end got some ok shots but nothing like that
what settings did lens etc did you use for those?

Thanks wickidwombat
Canon 7D with 17-55mm @ 21mm
Bulb Mode / ISO 100 / F8 / remote shutter release / 3-5sec exposure depending on burst.

I stayed home this year.
I planed on going this year to Kings Park for a change but the weather was too hot and I'm guessing very little space for late arrivals with tripods in Kings Park :)

Cheers

Not nearly as beautiful as your shots, but these were taken handheld with shutter speeds from 4-8 seconds during a storm (max winds of up to 80mph), you never knew if these little bugger rockets would shoot up or sideways..... I just like the ambiance. Was my 1st week with the 5d, didn't know how to raise the iso in the dark and slight rain, was at 3200. Next time I'm sure to get out the tripod.
