Check out this link. I think it may have been the same fireworks display as yours.

Spectacular group. I was shooting from St. Anthony's Cemetery. Where were you?

Camera movement in some cases was the result of my own clumsinesss, bumping into tripod in the dark, prematurely pressing shutter release button while shutter still open, etc. Discovered too late that my release cable wasn't working, so just hit the release button as the rockets went up and varied exposures starting at 2.5 seconds. Frankly, I think I just got lucky with some shots. It was fun though. Looking forward to doing it again.
Thanks to all for the compliments.

My town is celebrating its 300th anniversary this year. Fireworks this past weekend were part of the festivities. Thanks to tips on the UHH, was able to capture these. D-7000 with a F-2.8 35-70mm. Looking forward to continued improvement. Suggestions more than welcome.

Pretty nice shots. What are you using to get night shots like that?
As fitting my handle, older stuff. Nikon D7000 with a Nikkor 12-24 F4. Tripod and cable release. In addition to solar lights in photos, a small hand-held solar spotlight for fill.

Welcome! Next time you post check the “store original” box. Looking at a thumb nail vs the original is quite different. Plus, the thumb nail contains no EXIF data if you want help.
Thanks

Photography was one of my favorite parts of the job at the newspaper where I began my career in journalism in the late 70s but as I moved on, reporting and writing predominated. I still carried my camera and a bag of equipment when my wife and I traveled. These days, I'm retired and basically a hobbyist. Think I have a decent eye but sadly, my processing skills never quite caught up, especially now with digital, although I at least have time to work on it. Lots of good information and great photos here to inspire me. Here are some nighttime shots I took this week.

When I was riding and working for a newspaper years ago I had a shoemaker (try and find one of them now) sew 2 loops on the back of my camera bag. Ran a belt through it, fastened it around my waist and ran the strap over my opposite shoulder. If you're just carrying a camera and lens, some of the other suggestions probably will work better, but I was able to carry 2 bodies, a flash and 3 lenses without any problem.

New here and just a hobbyist now but in my younger days I was a newspaper reporter/photographer and carried my camera bag in my saddlebags. Within a relatively short time, meters on both cameras were out of adjustment from constant vibration and I had to come up with an alternative carrying method. Motorcycle now gone but kind of surprised it wouldn't be an issue here.
