Nice... I am hoping it doesn't rain on the 4th so I can test out my camera with this... I had done some fireworks on my S3 but want to try it out on my Rebel XSI

@Fliss: I haven't had one bit of luck w/my Sony A100, but that little S2's fireworks setting was a SNAP.
I wish you luck!

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
pop, pop ....a double one. Very beautiful. What did you do with that little camera Judy. I just dug my little Canon PowerShot SD800 IS and checked out all of it's functions and guess what?????? I have the fireworks one. Here in Nanaimo we don't have fireworks on the 1st but on Bathtub Weekend (which Nanaimo is famous for), so guess which camera I'll be using. Thanks Judy, I had totally forgotten about those extra features. Did I tell you that I think this is a really beautiful shot?? Well I do!! :D

@Marion: I really kick myself for not keeping that little Canon gem ....... no matter what I do, I can't figure out the settings on my DSLR, which is truly agonizing! .......... BUT, I just looked and my new tiny Canon has a Fireworks scene setting, so THANK YOU!!!
@Marta: Thank you, Marta!
@Hamid.R: Thank you, Hamid!
