Pelham, NH fireworks

I think when I first photographed fireworks, I used a tripod and mostly long exposures. Last time I realized I much preferred the results of very short exposures. So most of these were around 1/180th of a second, ISO 1600, auto f-stop with a 50mm f/1.8 on my Canon 40D. I think next time I won't bring the tripod (1/60th of a second is generally fast enough to free hand).
