I played around with some fireworks too. Got to the field (in Bridgeton, Missouri) and realized that I didn't pack my tripod. Woops. Here's some shots from the camera resting on my belly while I held my breath. Fortunately, my belly is big enough for a camera and a beer! I haven't shot fireworks in about 10 years, and my one suggestion for the people shooting the fireworks these days is to space them out a little bit. Where I was at it was almost impossible to get shots of single fireworks or good groupings b/c they just kept shooting them off to close together.
