Hi Crew, I tryed something similar last year for http://public.fotki.com/GindaUP/mup/bnfw04/ with my K-1000. Old but reliable tripod, had to hold the shutter release by finger cause my release cable craped out, ±15 second, infinity, apiture wide open, Fuji 200? film. I notice a streak along left sides I think from old film, need fresh next year. My new Optio 60 only T's 1 second. Might turn out. I like film for long exposures. Happy holidays and stay in there!

Thanks for the advice Peirce! I just love fireworks, but find it tricky to capture on a photo. I am sure your advice will make a big difference!

Oh Peirce - how true and yes, funny!

Funny Pierce!!! And True... Have a Happy New Year Pierce!!! Gary

Cool Pierce. I hope 2006 is kind to you and to your family.

Excellent tip mate, I'll give that a go.

So true. Happy New Year! I'll be in St. Pete ringing in the new year with all the crazy people and watching the fireworks at The Pier.

very slick bro

Hello! Thanks for posting the tip on photographing fireworks (I followed a link from ooO(PETER)Ooo's site). Now I just have to figure out how to set my digital SLR to infinity focus..... The 4th of July is just around the corner, so I'll be giving this a try. Thanks again! ~~Deb~~

Pierce!!! This is genious!!! Just browsing and found this Nice tip... Gary

Hi Peirce - glad you made it safely across the "pond" and are settled into your hotel. Taking a ride on the London Eye has to be fun - I didn't do that while there - darn - but next time I will. Can't wait to see some of your pics. Will you be downloading any from there or have to wait until you return home. Take plenty of pics and I will be back again to check in.

Gosh Peirce you are having a good time..... I love visiting London, and can just imagine what a nice time you will be having. The London Eye is quite spectacular and you should have some great shots of the city. Looking forward very much to seeing them. Hope the premiere is great, and you are continuing to have a good time. Take care and be safe.

sounds like you were really hobbing with the nobs mate, Dickens eh??!! very cool.

Hi Peirce - good to see you went on to Windsor Castle - it's such a wonderful place to spend a day. Queen Mary's Doll House and the State Apts. - I loved being there too. I did recognize the engine from your photo and I asked if in fact it was taken in Windsor....now I know it was.
The Queen's arrival at the premier was shown on our news broadcast here in the states. The film is also receiving good reviews. Glad you got to do this.
How fun!!!!

Hi Peirce
I am following your journal with interest...... you are having a really interesting time...... yes we take Remembrance Day very seriously in the UK, 'they gave their tomorrows for us'. Your tour sounds most enjoyable, look forward to the next update. Stay safe.
