Fireworks and Long Exposures

This years fireworks in Middletown CT had me experimenting again with some longer exposures and trying messing around with my focus while the shutter was open.  Luckily with a longer show, I was able to try over and over on getting this just right and ended up with a few keepers.  Hope you like them.
