4th of July

So I have a DSLR. From what I understand, that means your supposed to take pictures of fireworks. The only problem with that is that you only get a couple of times a year to do it so my first couple of times are going to suck.
Some of these look ok, but I was also hoping for a “crisper” look when the shutter closed. Guess I need to read up on it some more.
For those wanting to know tech specs. I used a Nikon D40 tripod mounted and shutter activated via remote to cut down on vibration. F11, ISO 200. The shutter time was set to bulb so it was open for as long as I wanted, usually 3 to 5 seconds.
If you have any tips or tricks to get better shots, please let me know in the comments.

And there was a stupid tree in the way most of the time.
