If anyone's interested some of the pics of the Friday evening firework
display are posted here - http://archaeoimages.com/Fireworks-01/index.html
All taken with an e-1 & 14-54, ISO 800, shutter speeds from 1/20 to 1/40 &
aperture from f6.3 to f5. I think the best combination I used was 1/30 at
f5, but the display didn't last long enough to try out as many settings as
I'd have liked... Martyn

I also found it useful. I've shot fireworks with Velvia at f5.6 with
several second exposures and had good results. Seeing shorter duration
exposures is quite useful.
