4th of July Artworks

This first serious attempt to shoot fireworks finds me in amazement at the artistic displays of color, form and contrast they provide. There was 15 minutes of non-stop action and my shutter really got a workout. I finally settled on 2 seconds at f8, with manual focusing, which is a trick in itself, trying to find infinity (it's a little back from the full stop point on the focus ring).

Hope you enjoy them, too. Use the slideshow feature at my website and the dark gray background option at the top center of the screen.
