Actually, I thinks it's difficult to take a bad fireworks shot. I took some
with 1 stop overexposure dialed in, and some with 2 stops under exposure. I
can't tell the difference.
The only thing I noticed on the night (2SP on auto) was the shutter stayed
open when the fireworks were not on. I can't remember the aperture I used,
but I don't think it was fully open (28mm f3.5). Our fireworks are about 30
meters away, so you need a wide lens and quick dodging.
At least it wasn't a 4Ti with meter problems....... (go OM-1n!!)
