Show me your: Firework pictures!

In honor of MiaMouse's mojo which requires Katy Perry's song "Firework" to be on at least one radio station button at any given time, let's see your pictures of Disney fireworks! This is a stretch for me because, frankly, my fireworks pictures stink but I still shoot them. I know *how* to do it right, I just don't bother.

This shot is from July 2010 during the Summer Nightastic! fireworks show at Magic Kingdom. I love how the castle is almost hidden from view by the smoke and the deep red colors. I also love the memories of the Fireworks Dessert Party and how many chocolate-covered strawberries I consumed, LOL!

oops, forgot EXIF data:
Canon G11, ss 1/20 sec, f3.2, ISO 1250 - probably shot on Program mode as I like to use exposure compensation to tweak while shooting instead of shooting Manual. I'm on vacation!

Now, show me what you've got!

So exciting, I am going to have to see what I can come up with.

No one has any fireworks pictures to share? boo. C'mon, I want to see!

I have some... I just need time to get them posted... hopefully this weekend.

I LOVE the fireworks at Disney. The ones at MK and Epcot.... just awesome!

I look forward to seeing other people photos too...

I finally got around to adding my photos to flickr, so I could post them. Here are a couple from illuminations. Probably the best 3 I got. I was pretty pleased that I did get a couple of good ones, since I only had my DSLR for a couple of weeks at this point.

This one I love how it seems as though the fireworks are raining down on me.

Thanks, Julie! That second one is fabulous - love how you can see the itty bitty pops at the top, the main fireworks shooting from the barges, and the globe too. Good work!

I love fireworks pictures and have practiced on them for years. My Canon camera actually had a fireworks setting on it and that's what I used last time at MK. I have a couple of pretty ones over the castle. I'll post some soon!
