This is a picture I took on the 4th this year. Ive been sitting on it because there were so many other firework pictures. Once again I was a far distance from the action so I was using a lot of zoom. This is one of the few I thought came out pretty well. Any suggestions on taking these types of pictures are welcome. Ohh yeah I also thought it showed a close resemblance our state tree the Palmetto.

I see, your exposure time is to long. The fireworks are overexposed. Open your flashlight to shot fireworks. This help you to get a clear shot without overexposing.

Fireworks are really hard to shoot Terry but you did a good job here. It's a little overexposed but I like it anyway, kind of neat the way the purple is all around.
I've always used automatic settings in the past for fireworks, I've had some luck in the past with the portrait setting on my old digital camera. Didn't have much luck this year with the DSLR though.
