I have never shot fireworks before and I def wanted practice before the 4th rolled around, so thanks to the polish folks for providing something to shoot at.

Anyway, learned quite a few things about proper apetures and such, I might go try a few more things tomorrow night.

Best settings I found were 15 seconds exposures at f/11 and 25 second at f/13, all ISO 100 and at least from that distance focus set at infinity. I just kept firing. These fireworks were very short time wise, about 10 minutes I think so I got a ton of shots but sometimes in there just isn't anything great during the exposure.
