Boom in the Night

Just a few fireworks over Grapevine Lake a few years ago. I've used two methods to shoot fireworks, one of which I like much better. Method one, open the shutter for 10 or 20 seconds and see what you get. Method two, wait until the initial burst of each blossom and then open the shutter for a much shorter time. One you get the blinding white burst in the center which in my opinion bleaches out some of the color. Two my much preferred method of waiting till after the burst and getting much richer colors. Don't know which you use but give the second one a try and see if you get better results.

Both ways worked fine for me. I just didn't like the white light of the main explosion. but to each is own. Thanks for commenting.
