Ok first you must have the following. DSLR with either a 18-55mm lens or a 70-250 lens. A tripod and a remote shutter release. Cord or cordless is fine. - Gadgetman

If you have a timer, no need for a shutter release. ;) - flukefan 266.4 #863 6:52PM

I took a photo class a few years back, but trying to remember how this is done. Are you talking about using a very slow shutter speed with your camera on a tripod so that it doesn't move? - debbiev

Timer is fine but you need to know when the next bust is. - Gadgetman

Location is a big thing. DL is not going to let set up a tripod all over Main Street. The 2 best places I like is either, the top level of the parking structure. Get view and clean shots. Or all in the open area between both parks. You get the train station in the photo too. Killer shot. - Gadgetman

Hi SMK. - Gadgetman

Camera settings once you setup. You must use Manuel settings. Lens at manuel focus set to infinity. Image stabilizer must be on. ISO 100, f stop 11 and shutter speed 2 seconds. - Gadgetman

Just did a screen grab of this for when I eventually get a dslr. Thanks for the great tip. Question though: is this good only for shooting the actual fireworks, or will it also make the castle/IASW etc. look good? - LittleAprilShowers 471.8 #256 7:26PM
It will help both out. Only if there's no projection on IASW. Due to the fact your using a slower shutter speed and it will blur the pictures on there. - Gadgetman
