Rocketman,

Thanks for putting up an assignment. I'll help if you'd like.

You da man!
 
There will not be a submission from me for this assignment. I have to keep a low profile on the 4th July as I tend to mention the French Navy and troops and $100,000,000 of French aid, which isn't very popular, however true it might be.

Anyone would think the French carried a grudge against us Brits.

Token gesture :usa
 
Same here...

Thanks for the link to fireworks tips. I hope to give it a shot tomorrow night!
 
The link Rocketman posted is interesting. It advocates L O N G shutter speeds and small apertures; I've always shot faster speeds. I'm might try for some long exposures this year. . . .

Here's a few I've shot in the past. None are award winners, but for learning purposes, each of these was shot at approximately 1/100th sec., f/4.5, ISO 800 (which surprises me). Whatever you decide to do, you'll want to set your focus and exposure yourself.

4 seconds each...

I took Rocketman's advice and tried the 4 sec ISO 200 F8 shots... Thanks for the tip!
