1. Lots of Good Advice on That Page

Here are some of mine from last year. I think (can't remember) I had the f-stop too low, so most were Photoshopped to tone them down. I also had to crop pretty much everything, from having used a 28mm. This year I will use a 50mm and a 100mm and see how things work out.

2. Yeah, the site seemed to hit the essentials.

(Good examples of "almost OK" fireworks shots - really nice, except for the blown out highlights.)

Digital gives folks the chance for immediate feedback, but the tutorial will hopefully help people get a good sense of how to start and how to fine tune their camera settings.

a co-worker. They do this every year, they all own houses on this small lake in Chelmsford, Mass., and do their own fireworks every year. So, not professional hugeness, but some cool stuff nonetheless (small images, if you'd like to see full size, simply go to http://ekphoto.etawful.com/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=0
