+Lloyd Brown These are shot at aprox 200mm on my 70/200 the trees are about a a qtr mile away and the fireworks were about 1/2 a mile away… possibly a bit closer….
I saw that a while back . . . my friends know I have a thing for pyrotechnics. I had a similar experience in 2010. Somehow my display that was supposed to go vertical went horizontal.
I noticed my audience was smaller this year. Oh well, I don't think I will be in IN for the 4th any more anyway. Guess I can go watch other people's now.
How far away are you for a shot like this?

I like it
Fantastic. Probably the clearest and best firework photo's I think I've ever seen. Wonderful.
+Justin Hill thanks thats quite a compliment… hopefully this is not the first firework shot you have ever seen.. but I will still take it…
+Rob Fishback Thanks Rob…
Yeah, I am way too close. I should have figured. I guess I have to decide if I like shooting them more than shooting them off. 😉
+Lloyd Brown or at people….
FYI – this video there is quite a bit of swearing….

Imagine this sideways: 4th of July Grand Finale
I could have sworn +Tanya Martin had video of it. I will have to look through my archives. It was pretty exciting.

This is really nice! The trees add a great sense of scale.
