Shooting fireworks pics is a blast! isolating the burst is very effective. I went out and shot them too. I had some technical glitches and missed some shots. I did get some good ones. I will have to wait until next year to try again.

Yeah I learn something new every year haha XD I too cannot wait until next year, I believe I am going to shoot them from the water looking toward Boston.
Exactly. Last year I was about a half block from the launch site at the end of the Gulfport beach pier. That gave me closeup shots. This year I went down to the park at the west side of the beach and shot eastward. That gave me the background and environment. But now I wish I got there earlier and got a spot on the edge of the seawall. I had people walking in front of me and sitting in front of me. Framing the shot eliminated them. On some of the shots the reflection of the firework in the water was nice. So If I can get a clear shot with no foreground distraction I think that would give me a better shot.
