Not the Fourth of July. Instead the display at the end of the Reading Phillies' Thursday game, shot from a parking lot a half-mile away. NIKON D200/Nikkor 18-70. 70mm/ISO100/manual focus - infinity/f16/4-5 sec.

The next fifteen shots were captured July 22nd with the Nikon D200 and the 18-200mm zoom.

Shots 29-35 were captured August 10th from the infield grass after a minor league baseball game, with the fireworks bursting almost overhead. I hadn't brought a tripod, and so nestled the D200 in the soft grass, locked up the mirror, and tried to hold still during the 4-5-second exposures.
