Thx. The zigzgging is actually caused by the windy condition that evening.

Hi doenoe. I was using F8 10s exposure mostly. Do bring a black card along, it'll come in handy .

you put the card in front of the lens when you press the shutter or something like that? So you wont have camerashake?

Thanks friends for your encouraging comments . I should be shooting another fireworks sessions tonight. I hope to come up with something nice.

It's nothing to do with camerashake actually, cause u'll have to mount the cam on a tripod.
The card is actually to control what u want to see in the photograph. Sometimes, the fireworks can get abit messy (i.e. if too many went off over a short period of time). 10 secs will allow u to capture quite alot of action. cheers.
