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).

I'll have to double-check

I think i was shooting mostly 1/20th. I think the images were OK, but haven't pulled them up for detailed confirmation yet.
