It'll have to wait until I get back to Tampa. But a couple are on Flickr. I'll put them up shortly. They aren’t on my laptop. It’ll have to wait until I get back to Tampa. But a couple are on Flickr.

That show is amazing and very different from the style done for 4th celebrations. I should show you the photos I took of the fireworks in the Magic Kingdom.

I based my white balance off the entergy sign and tweaked it a little by hand to make the sky a little more neutral (looked sorta indigo when I treated the entergy sign as pure white). I don't have auto-focus . . . so they were all shot at infinity, and naturally they were on a tripod, and for most of them I remembered to lock the mirror up before I fired the shutter with a cable release. I'm not sure about this, but I think that I may have lost a little color in the longer exposures, they seem to look more like "white" sparks than the shorter exposures. I found it funny how similar all of these fireworks look once the exposure is long enough. I shot them within the ranges of f4-f8 and from 4 to 15 seconds at ISO 50.

What were your settings on this? I tried to take some fireworks and forgot that my camera doesn't like focusing that far away when it can't tell what its looking at so most of mine didn't come out. But mine were much redder than yours; just wondering if it was the pyrotechnics themselves or how you took them. The 7th in the series is my most favorite of the explosions.
