I'm not near as happy with mine as I am with what I've seen already posted here. These were shot with ISO 100, @ 55mm. F10 in bulb. Any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.

It appears they are out of focus. I've read some hints on setting focus, but it depends on your lens. Were you using a tripod?

You might want to post a topic in Photo Analysis, with a title something like, How to focus when shooting fireworks?

I really like the colors in #2.

It only looks like the focus is off.
Other than that they look good!

Ditto on the focus, but you got the colors to shine through. Too many firework photos are just white streaks. Nice ones.

They were shot on a tripod. It's possible that I missed setting the focus to infinity.

I would say that's the problem Jim.
