Tomorrow is the Fourth of July celebration so after the all the fun, let's see some of your best fireworks pictures?

I'm bringing a tripod this time to practice the long shutter speeds.

If I remember I'll post up the shots I did with my Canon P&S last summer. Lots of long exposure night stuff... and I was using the top of the car for support.

Advice on taking good fireworks photos?

- Night time, so longer exposures needed
- Brief bursts of light...

So how to get good photos?
