Nice shots. I've never tried shooting fireworks. What settings did you use?

Great shots, and thanks for the settings info.  I think we may still have some left over from new years here :).

Nice shots...I haven't shot fireworks too often...I have some (IMHO) great shots on film from back in the 1980s looking over the Washignton, DC fireworks with the Capital and other monuments visible.  I'd like to shoot fireworks again with digital...those settings seem about right...tripod, remote release, bulb, low ISO and high DOF...
