Thanx mate this helped also

Yeah i got the settings i posted from a few differed reviews i've seen, but i wanted to know if they were accurate and what could be done differently tongue.gif


lol how about shooting fireworks handheld like I did last summer lol well of like 15 pics I took only a few of them turned out to be decent or good but I was a newbie and I didnt have a tripod.





I think I shot this one while placing my camera somewhere and had a longer exposure


I know they look crappy compared to those firework pics Ive seen so I hope to try again the next summer with the right equipment of course lol

hehe well I think those fireworks fired by regular people arent as nice as those you see during special occasions like those in the pics I posted, if that makes sense lol but I guess you can still take good pics of them if you get close enough and use a lil bit faster shutter speed because those smaller fireworks dont last very long, maybe a second or less.

yeah of course lol sorry I didnt mean to diss those smaller fireworks or something. they could be very interesting too and I think its going to be interesting to see how people in other countries celebrate the new year heh as always Ive never really had a good new year, had either to work or celebrated my boring family lol so you guys better post some pics of the new year fireworks and maybe other new year pics too so I will have an idea what a good new year celebration looks like tongue.gif

btw I am not sure if I am spelling everything correct or I am just making no sense here course I just got home from work haha I gotta tell ya that working at a drive through fastfood restaurant is quite an experience biggrin.gif and I've never laughed that much at work before so now I am just exhausted lol

haha no shit they are funny as hell and me and my coworkers actually made fun of them sometimes, kinda hard to describe though. well it was my first day working at the drive through and I was so amused lol but I hope to start working at the office and counting money in the future since the manager there discovered that I am better than anyone else there at counting money lmao and I do hope to get a second job at Toys R Us! haha playing with toys all day long biggrin.gif

that sounds great! hmm you know I am going to make a christmas AND new year assignment thread later, unless some jerk will do that before me sad.gif

pfft well this is just a temporary job since I am new to Canada and everybody seem to distrust me or something, pretty much like on JSP if you are new everyone hates you lol
course I know I am capable of much more and deserve a much better job than working at the drive through at burger king hahaha just like Peter Griffin in Family guy lol

heh it snowed here yesterday but not much. personally I actually prefer rain tongue.gif course when it snows it usually gets really cold, like here in Canada it gets like -20 plus wind -.-
