Lots already up here, but it's all about sharing, right?
These are from Claremont, NH. They shoot them off in a park, so they end up being pretty close to overhead, meaning a nice black background. These are a few of my favorites.

I opted for a higher aperture than some folks here, most of these were around f/18 and 4s. f/11 seemed to be overexposing for the shutter speed that I wanted. Forgot the remote trigger, so I had to go with the two second timer and plan ahead!

I really like the second shot. I'm guessing it was two bursts that happened to be burst close to each other so they look like one.
In #1, did the streamers in the top burst wiggle like that? I don't see any wiggle in your other shots so I'm guessing maybe they actually did? Cool effect either way.
Thanks to both of you for your comments.
As for the first one, I honestly can't remember if it was two bursts or one, I'm guessing that it may have been a single one with two different effects though. For the second, I'm not positive, but I think it's just camera shake that happened to come out looking cool. Since there is no center burst in that one it looks like the exposure didn't start until after it went off, and with my wobbly tripod, it was probably still moving a bit. Either way, I liked the effect!
