"Look Ma! No tripods!" - Fireworks Experimenting

There were too many people in the park to set up a tripods, so I decided to try shooting fireworks hand held my Canon 5D and proving being lazy was not always bad. I picked a spot where there was a flag above me (and really close to the parking lot so I could get out quickly when it's done!) and illuminated it with a 430EX speedlit, then dialed the shutter for between 4 and 8 seconds and just fired away.

I was stuck in the parking lot for a good 30 minutes afterward, but the images are fun.
