I think if you used a tripod, you wouldn't get all that swirly lines. It still looks very cool!

Great pictures. What settings did you use, scn fireworks or something else?

The difference between good and bad photographers is: Good photographers don't show their bad photos.

Thanks, everyone .. I used scn fireworks, handheld. I like to think of the shots as abstract fireworks art, lol. I was able to get a decent short video too with the G11. http://www.flickr.com/​photos/luvsadog2/47646​74681/ (external link)

Nice! Better then I got with the G11! Of course I was shooting my neighbors halfass fireworks where there was about 5 minutes between each one! Next yer I'm thinking of going out to see some and take the G11 with me! Your photos are inspiring me!

Thanks for posting--enjoyed looking!
We were in Niagara Falls and enjoyed fireworks there. I had my dslr and tried. Saw my wife using her ZS3...turns out she was taking a video, and the results were spectacular!
Neither of us had a tripod,or monopod.
We were on the 27th floor of a hotel overlooking the Canadian falls.
My shots weren't keepers. Hers were! :)
Learn something every day.

Yours are keepers and thanks for sharing.

These are great - while nice with a tripod, they are even better hands free...

Thank you all .. I didn't use a tripod on purpose -- after a while, fireworks shots usually all look pretty much the same (to me, anyway), so I went for more of an abstract. Glad you all enjoyed them! Carla
