Taken with G3 in manual mode with Pan Leica 45 mm with focus set to infinity, f/8, ASA 160, 2 second exposure on a tripod (no delay). I thought that most were overexposed. Suggestions welcome.

I posted this on our sister site, seriouscompacts.com:

I live in Huntsville, AL, home to space camp and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. This year they decided to have a fireworks show right next to the Center. Its not everyday that one sees fireworks launched next to a Saturn V rocket in the same scene. It was pretty amazing. This is only the 3rd time I've in ernest tried to capture fireworks. Worked out pretty well this time. I'm convinced I need a cable release.








Here's some closeups

















Some of the Grand Finale










And this was unexpected. About 10 seconds into the grand finale, the wind shifted and well, this is what happend with all the smoke:




Doh!

Only thing I see is that you may have focused a pinch too far out. The streaks seem a little "fat". They look good though.

(I bring this up because mFT lenses can focus past infinity)

I opted out of the big shows- and settled for sparklers in the lawn for 5 mins.

My first attempt at photographing fireworks. Had an amazing viewpoint from Fremont to the South Lake Union area of Seattle. All shot with the Oly 45 on my GX1.

Didn't get any good fireworks shots from the show we attended but I took this one for my "summer of photos" challenge yesterday, and thought it fit with the mood of the day:
