Default Australia Day Fireworks

Howdy,
Im not sure if this is the right place to put these but im putting them up anyways lol
Still a newby at this so I want feed back please. Settings were ISO 100 and 4 second shutter. Is there any way to make the smoke less visable?
Thanks for looking and Happy Aus Day!!!

I used allmost the same settings, and was fortunate that the wind was blowing the smoke away from the fireworks relative to were I was standing (4s, iso 100 f/10) what f-stop did you use ?

here is mine

I used exactly the same settings in both pics, and the one pic has no smoke, and the other a lot, might be the type of fireworks ?

found these

Very nice. I don't think there would be a way except through Photoshop Wizardry to deal with the smoke. The fireworks are lighting up the smoke in the sky.. and if the wind is blowing a certain direction, it'll just make it more or less visible.

Were you using a remote shutter release on BULB? I found it very helpful for me. F8+ is typically recomended. I had success with F8 and F10.
