Or if you are boring you would call them fireworks.
Here are a few photos from My Grandparents front yard. It was my first time photographing fireworks, but I was very happy with the results. This is a set of 5 photos. My technique was to set the camera on the tripod, using the wired shutter release as the trigger to keep down the camera shake. I set the shutter release switch on(this lets it shoot off photos non-stop), and just let the camera keep shooting. Every once in a while I would make sure the shots were coming out OK, then it was back to the switch. The settings I used were: ISO 100, White balance Daylight, Shutter 4-6 seconds, F/8.
