I got one of my fireworks pics in Samsung's Capture Your World online mag recently, even won me a prize.

I quite like to include surrounding scenery in my shots, especially if the display is near a historic building as many are. Also crowds etc. I prefer to put up with a bit of smoke to keep these details in.

Well done on getting your pic in the e-mag, tried to check it out but this link only brings up a vid (unless I'm being a numpty?)

The vid is part of the front page of the online mag, if you click right down the bottom right corner of the page it turns the pages over.

Here's my firework photo, though this one was taken at Epcot, Florida
Taken with a Canon G9 perched on a wall and given a timed exposure.
