This was the first time I tried to shoot New Years fireworks. The wind was so strong I had trouble keeping my heavy tripod steady, so most pictures were ruined, but I did get some OK-ish results. At least it was fun :D

Happy New Year!!!

Wow it looks like the wind was really pushing the fireworks around too! Nice shots :)

Thanks :D Yep, the wind was very gusty and really, really cold.

Oh - these shots are with 40D and 70-200 f2.8; ISO 100, F9 and shutter speeds from 1 second to 6-7 seconds (bulb).

You're far braver than I. I stayed home by the fire... of course my evening didn't pay off photographically speaking. ;)
