NostalgicDad, those are better shots than professional photos I've seen. They're beautiful! :thumbsup2 Are you a pro? Do you recall what mode you were in when shooting? Were you using a tripod? :wizard: I want to take beautiful pictures like that!
 
NostalgicDad - I hope it's okay if I can set one of the fireworks pics as my Desktop background. They're very amazing pics! I love them!!
 

Thanks for all the nice comments. DisneySuiteFreak, I don't make my living taking pictures although I do have a side venture I'm trying to build up. I did use a tripod and my technique involves using the bulb setting and closing the shutter typically at no longer than 7 seconds and an aperture of around f/11. The 1st pic is 3.8 seconds at f/11 and ISO 100. The other 2 are 6.7 seconds. The key is timing it right since they can get really bright and overexpose. Just take a lot and you're sure to come away with some keepers. I have a site with lots more so feel free to PM me if you want.
 
Walked past this a dozen times and i finally noticed it. Only because the lights were on a little brighter.

Thanks! I would have liked to have been a little more centered on the castle but it's hard to set up in a perfect spot. I'm using a Nikon D80 and the lens was a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lens.

Are the colors in those pictures, especially the middle one, true to what your eye saw? If so, that's incredible!!! I've never seen the fireworks, we go mid-week in off-season, and I've never really missed them, but if those are really what they look like...well I don't know if we can add a Friday and maybe even Saturday stay to our trip this time, but I might consider it in the future!

The fireworks show at DL (Remember...Dreams Come True), are well worth seeing! Especially if you're a fan of DL. Definitely try to plan it in to your trip if at all possible. If you are able to make it work, get a seat in the HUB and get there early (like right after the 2nd parade). You won't regret it, it's incredible. :thumbsup2

Yep, the colors are representable of what you actually see. As PryncessChrysty said, they are well worth seeing. I've enjoyed them each time I've seen them. Here's another one I liked..........

WOW. NostalgicDad, your pictures have actually influenced our travel plans...we now have the option of one or two more nights at Disneyland so we can see the fireworks.
 
I'm back with lots of pictures. I'll start with Finding Nemo Subs.
