On page, three, the first bunch and a few in the last bunch of pictures has some green "orbs" in the sky. (Its not on any of the fireworks pictures). Are they lens flares, or what? I have the Nikon D-50, and I was recently taking pictures of the full moon over the water, and after awhile, there was that same green orb in the pictures.

(an example: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2264508030077976460wWeTGm)

And yes, the pictures are great! Anymore from the party? I'd love to see them!

The green orb comes from the image of the moon reflecting off the cameras sensor then onto the back of one of the lens elements to be picked up by the sensor again as a ghost image.
More modern "made for digital" lenses can reduce this effect somewhat.

And since we were talking about firework photography I cant resist making my own contrubution

I was sitting on the ground with everybody else and resting the camera right on the pavement tilting it upward.

Wow, so that was almost a guess in the framing?

Back when I took that image I was using a Nikon Coolpix 5000- it had a flip and twist LCD with live preview - something I miss today with my Nikon D50.
