Phil, I've got two of them but I didn't want to be lugging one around the pubs of Limerick after the fireworks had ended! I suppose though I could have used it as a crutch to hold myself up with after a few beers! (terrible joke, sorry!)

That would explain it! A tripod is a great investment if you don't already have one! :)

Hi Phil,
To be honest I used almost two rolls to get about five decent shots!! The way I did it was to enjoy the show and I watched for the average height that the firworks went up in the first few minutes, then set my lens to focus at infinity, with a moderately slow shutter speed (1/30 to 1/60 second) and pointed the camera in the general area where the explosions were happening. I also used fairly fast film to help for the night sky!!! As for the lack of sharpness....well the shutter speeds were slow, I was working handheld and figure you're seeing camera shake there!

I've never photographed fireworks, but it must be tricky?! This is a nice abstract, though doesn't appear very sharp? :)
