Here are some night time long exposure shots from the 4th of July. These were even worth the 20 mosquito bites I had to endure to get them.

I only looked at the first 4 but it seems you missed something... the actual firwork! You chopped off the top of them!

Yeah, I need a wide angle lense next.

Great idea -- I like #6 the best -- through the trees was a nice touch!! Good job:)

I always go fireworks-hunting with my widest lens :)

An ultrawide zoom, say 10-22 on APS-C (1.6X) crop cameras or 17-40 on full frame will give you the framing flexibility you need, as well as the ultrawide angle when you're too close to the action. I attended one event and got so close that I thought if they shot any closer they'd hit us! :shock:
