The last few New Year's Eves the weather was foggy and wet, which doesn't make for good fireworks photos. Since I can't be sure if I'll be able to grab some tonight—it's sunny now, but they predict yet again fog and drizzle for later—here are some taken on a clear night in 2006/2007.

These were all done by simply aiming the camera to the part of the sky where I expected fireworks to explode at some point, and using long exposures (these range between 2 and 4 seconds). You end up with a LOT of black sky photos that way, but also some interesting shapes and bursts.
