Jeremy and I went out to a small rocky knoll near my house which offered a clear view out over town towards the overlook where the fireworks happen every year. It was far enough away (about 2 km) that the noise didn't bother me, but was close enough that I could get good photos. This was the first time I've tried to do this, and I was pretty happy with how they came out.

Some photos had a lot going on:

while others caught just a single explosion:

Anyway, I took a couple hundred photographs and got so many good ones I'm not sure how to choose what to upload. More later, at some point. This was also the first time I've used my new camera body, and I must say I'm happy with the results.
