I have been toting a camera around now for a bunch of years and it never ceases to amaze me how much I just don't know. There is so much to learn retain and draw from each time you go out. The light, the composition and a billion other things all conspiring to ruin each photo. One thing I know for sure is fireworks. F8, 1.6 seconds, ISO 100, Auto Noise Reduction off, bolt your camera to a tripod and grab a cable release, adjust from there. I was all set up ready to shoot and capture perfection in a big way when my camera decided to no longer work as it should. I am happy with the shots I got but there is room for improvement. It's a never ending search for the perfect shot-
