Beautiful "flower" Silke - well captured and processed. This Saturday will be my first attempt at capturing fireworks at our Independence Day celebration. I'm taking note of your settings. What ISO were you using?

Hello Silke,

This is great!
It looks like an electronic flower!
Great sharpness and colours against the dark sky!

Hi Silke,
This is an excellent capture, the exposure is spot on for this keeping the colours and light trails, you had a perfect POV too to get everything lined up like a flower.
Well done

Hi Silke,
Thanks for posting this. I was searching TL/TE for Nikon specs of fireworks as I was thinking of shooting fireworks for the 4th of July. Just exquisite! BTW, congratulations on your 20,000 pt milestone. What an achievement. Best regards, Danilo

Very crisp and sharp with great colors and composition.
Happy Canada Day. ;)
It's amazing how they do this stuff, one I watched last night had pyrotechnic hearts appearing in sync with the words of a song.
This is a very pretty flower.
Very nice work, really well done.
