Canon 70-200mm

On this Fourth of July, I went to Long Beach, California, to shoot the fireworks show at the Queen Mary. Shooting fireworks can be tricky, but it really isn't that hard. It's important to shoot with a fairly stopped-down aperture and a slow shutter speed.  Most of these photos were shot at around an f/16 with a shutter between 10-30 seconds.  I also shot with bracketing of 3 photos at two stops for these photos. The camera was set to aperture priority. This gave me three shots, all with slightly different shutter speeds, for more variety.
