That's a big picture!! Hope you didn't have to wait too long for that to load. Anyway, I got a chance to spend the 4th with awesome friends, delicious food (MB I believe you are the Queen when it comes to decadent dishes), and a huge crowd of 100's of people all trying to set off their own fireworks. It was the fireworks display in Lake Helen. I was told it was 18min long, but I was trying my hand at shooting the fireworks so the time flew by.
I will give myself a C+ for fireworks photography on my first attempt. It was fun and exciting and I will certainly have another go at it. What I do like about the photos I ended up with was the lake, mainly the reflections, and the silhouette of the home and trees on the point.
Here are a few more shots I liked from the set. Click on them for full size views. Thanks to everyone who chilled by the lake yesterday!

Justin,
Kim forwarded your pictures to me. They look awesome. I love the "Florida 4th" style with the palm trees below. I sent them on to our "up North" relatives.

These are some of the most amazing fireworks images I have ever seen! The water reflection with the palm trees is great.
