Fire in the Bronx

Looking North from the top of the hill in Morningside

I'm also considering a tighter crop, removing the tree on the left and the dark part at the top of the sky. That may be the more compelling composition.

it is a very good image and the picture quality is also very good.

Did you use a tripod? This looks motion-blurred due to camera shake to me.

Either motion blur, or completely out of focus!?!

My tripod is in another state at the moment, but it's 1/13. The issue there is definitely the focus. I was using a flat marble surface to act as a tripod to shoot fireworks in another direction (where I was experimenting with various settings). Lightning started going off to the north, I spun the camera around and snapped a round of exposures hoping to catch a bolt. After spinning back to the real fireworks and shooting a few frames I noticed my focus ring wasn't where it was supposed to be.

I almost swore in front of a little kid about it. I think it ended up coming out something like, "Oh you ffffffvvvve got to be kidding me." I don't like how loose this focus ring is/has gotten, not the first time in recent months this has bitten me which is why I was made at myself for not double checking.

Nice shot, but I thought the Bronx was always on fire......just kidding..............
