Favorite Fireworks Fotos of 2015

These are some of my favorite fireworks photos taken in 2015.

Camera on tripod, wide lens ~18mm, f8-f16, ~1 - 2sec, ISO 100 -200, remote shutter release.

I watch the mortar launch and after 2 -3 launches I have a pretty good idea when to release shutter just as burst happens. I also have camera height locked on by 2-3 mortars.

I have lots of fun doing this and hope to get better.

Fantastic job on the fireworks. Fireworks are probably the hardest things to shoot. You make it look easy and I know from experience, it's not.
Keep up the great work.

Excellent work. Their beauty is in the fact that they are not overdone.

Not quite the settings I'd have used but the importance is in the results. Very nice. :thumbup:
