I hate fireworks... I hope it ends soon.... Nice pictures but not all of us recovered.

About the ghost - if you mean the ellipse to the right and down of the fireworks light, it looks like flare. Nice captures both!

Those are really nice!
I love #2

How long did you expose? 1/2 or 1 s?

Thanks! That particular one was 5 and a half seconds. I used a cable release and mostly timed the shutter open time to capture the parts I wanted of the burst. As a result, the shutter open times varied from less than a second all the way to 5-6 seconds. That one was longer because I was trying to capture a multi-burst pattern over a few seconds. Most were in the 2-3 second range.

I left in the EXIF data, so the shutter times appear on the Flickr pages for any you're curious about.

I wasn't close enough to get any detailed pictures on the night of Canada's national day, July 1st. Instead, I was perched about two miles west of the fireworks. This was taken with the Fuji X100 on the top rail of a chain-link fence, with its shutter held open for ten seconds.
(I like how the street light mimicked the fireworks.)

Ha -- looks like a very peculiar streetlight itself. The panoramic format works well here, with all the leading lines taking you to the "streetlights".

Great shots all. I though will be real happy when this is all over.
