    For those of you who like fireworks..........

    I went to a spectacular fireworks show last night at my old high school, Main East in Park Ridge IL.
    It was one of the best I've ever seen and fortunately I had my camera alone. All shots were done with my Olympus E-620 on a tripod. Most of them at F-5.0 letting the camera pick the shutter speed.

    Nice display Glenn!

    Fireworks in Jersey are illegal so we have to take a trip over to Pennsylvania and get some right over the border. The cops won't bother you as long as your neighbors don't call them

    Thanks Guys! It's the first time I tried it and was surprised how good some of them turned out. I just put the camera on a tripod and aimed it where most of the fireworks were going off and kept pushing the shutter button. I took over 250 pics and these were the best of them.

    Great shots, thanks for sharing. I took quite a few myself. Here's one that I like because it's a bit different.
