What settings do you use to get that? I tried to get fireworks, but just used auto settings.

Hi, Terry. I don't remember the exact exposure, but I believe my aperture was either f/16 or f/22. I wanted the streaks to be sharp -- the smaller aperture openings worked best for this. As for speed, I set my shutter on bulb most of the time and just shot various lengths of time, trying to get more than a couple of bursts on each frame. Sometimes I let 2 or 3 bursts go off, and sometimes I waited a good 5 or 6 bursts. This looks like one of the 2-3 bursts shots. Thanks for commenting! By the way, this is Velvia rated at 50. cheers, piper
