I like all three, but especially the third one. We see other fireworks pictures, but the third one gives us a scale and vantage point reference that I find a very nice addition. A little color saturation boost in Photoshop would be okay too. Or not.

Fantastic shots Thommo! Thanks for posting, and keeping the EXIF intact, makes it easy to see what settings work! :)

Excellent pics Thommo! Some of the best firework shots I've seen on here!

I was also in Canberra (Belconnen) last night for the Blue Devils/Wollongong Wolves match. I think I nearly died from exposure standing on the sidelines in that icy wind! How do you guys cope in winter?

This statement doesn't make any sense to me.

However, I love your photos, great work Thommo.
