New Year’s Eve we decided to run up north to Woodruff and watch the fireworks. These are my favorite shots (they actually look really cool BIG). I had never seen fireworks over a frozen lake with a blanket of snow everywhere.

For these shots I used manual mode, set @ f/13, and I played with it a bit but most were at 2 seconds, also I took the lens off auto focus and focused manually to infinity. Of course with that long of an exposure a tripod was needed.

Wow. Lisa, those are gorgeous! Absolutely amazing. Every Canada Day I try and get fireworks shots and it never works. I guess I actually need a good camera!

WOW! These photos are WILD! Every time I try to take fireworks, they do not come out. But I don't have a camera that rocks :(

These are superb! Fireworks are something I've always wanted to capture but not had the opportunity as we tend to bunker down when there are fireworks around because one of The Lurchers is terrified of them. But as I was given a new Manfrotto tripod for Christmas, I think I should get out and try my hand!

I agree with everyone else...your photos are amazing!

I have a very cheap camera AND it's kind of old AND I don't know how to use all the features on it. I've tried to photograph fireworks but failed miserably.

I have GOT to learn how to use my camera (these shots are a beautiful reminder of that very thing).

OK guys, you can do it. The best way to start, or learn, is to just start poking buttons until you get what you like. :)

I've taken fireworks with a point and shoot too, they didn't turn out too bad.
