Last night my husband and I and friends, went to the fireworks celebration here in the White Mountains. There were TONS of people and cars, and it took us awhile to find a spot to park and sit.

I had read a couple of articles on shooting fireworks, primed my Nikon D70S and 18-200 lens, my point and shoot Sony, AND my flip video..... Here are just some of the results. It's so interesting NOT using, but in fact, turning OFF the flash, and setting the ISO to 100...very slow. These were fun to take, but I need a tripod and a remote....and a LOT of practice!!! AND lessons! ;-)

I hope all of you enjoyed celebrating America's 232nd birthday yesterday!

 So I guess I can count you in to be featured on future AR wallpapers??? Seriously great stuff Teri. As Cheryl said, fireworks are tough to capture. You done good!

These are quite good for a first attempt.  I am jealous, I am not in theWhite Mountains.

I may be up in Pine next weekend, however.

Mary, thank you. It was a lot of fun to try out different buttons on my camera. ;-)

Cheryl, thanks so much. I took sooooo many of them, and it was a learning curve, but I love the different formations that I captured. Hopefully by next year, I'll have the additional knowledge I need to be better. ;-)

Marti, I'll check out your wallpaper blogpost better...to see what I need to do. Thank you Marti, I appreciate it. ;-)

Bill, thank you as well. I plan to get some lessons or a class on this stuff....Pine is also very pretty...it's beautiful here today....doubt if it even reached 70.....rained, and overcast much of the day. Very nice...;-)

Marchel, thanks so much.  Can't wait to see your photos. I plan to put some of the others in an RES as well...first, the video. Now I'll have a good collection of my own fireworks photos. ;-)

Teri,  Those are fantastic photos, but remember practice could make you ruin your expertise - first time or not,  Karen

Teri, thanks...it was fun. I just held up the camera and pushed and clicked.....not too bad, huh?

Ronald, I don't think it turned out all that well, though I did upload it to You Tube. ;-)
