Purchase a print of Fireworks, Space Needle, Lightning (2006)
This next picture is one of my favorites. You can actually see the explosion in slow-motion, as the firework unfurls, twisting upwards into a fan-shaped scattering of light.

This last image is my biggest seller. The only Photoshop work I did on it was to bump up the contrast and lighten the Space Needle.

I won't go into details about how to shoot fireworks -- lots of sites already do that. But I do recommend trying. The results can be very cool.

Awesome , I will try that next year. I just bought a sweet camera as I already have a nikon slr. It is a Nikon coolpix p7000. It is great because it has the settings as a slr but has more of a total autofocus. I'm just been getting into photography these last past couple of years. Look forward to any information that has to do with photography.
Great shots! Especially lucky with that lightning!!
I took some good ones at the Geneva festival last year. I probably won't have as good a spot to shoot from this year.
Kristy, nice camera! You may have already done this, but if you haven't, you should like "On Focus Photo" on Facebook. I've been meaning to post more tips and photo links on there, and your comment is just the motivation I need.
Maya, thanks! My biggest challenge is working up the energy to leave the house and fight all the crowds, so I applaud your continuing fireworks efforts. :)
I hate the crowds too. Last year was perfect because our friends lived right on the lake about 4 floors up. It was the best place to shoot from! They are no longer living there, so no idea if we can find a good spot this year.
