These were taking from underneath a raised train tracks in Amityville, NY.

They shot them off from across the street in a parking lot from where I was... great if your a spectator, but a BAD SPOT for photographing the fireworks. Even at 18mm, the fireworks were still too far spread out to fit... I ended up moving after a while but still, the shots wernt that great.

Next year i'll move to a different spot and stay further away. Im going to try shooting the famous Jones Beach fireworks tonight, but heres a few (one guy sat next to my tripod, basically leaning against it.. i kept telling him hes on my tripod but i thikn he was drunk so the tripod got moved in later shots and some of the tracks appeared, cutting off my images)

    Thanks, woulda been great had i not decided to shoot from ACROSS THE STREET from where they launched, that was a big mistake.

    I'm gonna attempt jones beach tonight, we'll see how that goes. Im just gonna shoot from my truck, so i can get outta there FAST.

    Btw, like i said, you can see the top of the train platform, top right, lol... OOOOPS
