This is not even in the same league as Sean's fireworks picture a couple of weeks ago. It was my first attempt at fireworks while trying to capture both the show and some of the surrounding environment. I learned that I was too close without a wide enough lens and that long exposures to capture the trees don't lend themselves to fireworks shows that have multiple blasts per second. I chalk this up to a slow learning process that comes around once per year for me. Anyway, after a long day of hiking out from a backpacking trip, this was just the way to finish off the night with my wife and kids.
