Martyn,
I've been to a couple of firework displays in the past few months and I
think I took some reasonable pictures.
http://photo.whizzkid.co.uk/BlackpoolFireworks2006/
They were taken with a 350D - if you click on "details" under the "Photo
Properties" heading you can see the exposure info.
I used manual mode (exposure and focus) and used plenty of chimping to
check I was getting something reasonable. I was using an IS lens so I
tried some longer shutter speeds to get movement trails. The lens was
the 17-85mm which is fairly similar to the 14-54 in terms of 35mm equiv
fl. Using the wider lens means you generally get something in the
viewfinder.
The main problem I had was using the single thumbwheel to change both
aperture and shutter speed, and having to have the camera to my eye when
I did it, since this was the only was to see the settings in the dark.
Regards,
Mike.
