I am still learning and am very much a beginner. But I went to my towns Fire Work show tonight and practiced.
These are no where as nice as what those of you that regularly post, but I am happy that I at least got the lens cap off...
I had my camera set to BULB mode for the shutter release and used my wired remote. I played with the f stop probably more than I should have, but for my first ever attempt at capturing fireworks, I am pleased. I would enjoy reading what critiques you all may have.
