I went to a local firworks display on the 3rd. It is always a good show and this year was no exception.

This year I used my Tamron 28-75 instead of the kit lens that I used last year. I guess I was sitting a little too close because 28mm was not always wide enough.

I was swapping back and forth between the 17-40 and the 28-75, both work great for fireworks, I had a blast experimenting with "Bulb" and the remote controller...

Yeah - I found out that you really need a tripod, remote and the bulb setting.

I didn't notice too much difference from last year's kit lens and this year's Tamron. I guess the Tamron had a little better color.
