Ok, newbie, right here, question:
I'm hoping to get some shots of fireworks (obviously) this weekend. I've taken photos of fireworks before and they were ok. These have to be superb as I want to try to upload to DT. I have a Nikon D5000. Where do I start, people? What's the key? Help!
Please and Thank you! :)

I read somewhere that you can use the "bulb" function of your camera as wrote "Tan510jomast". You put a black paper in front the lens then press once only on the remote control and keep pressed. When there are the "bom bom", your can remove the paper and put back when there is nothing... and so on. When you think that you can over expose, release the button...to finalize the picture et voilà! I will experiment it four times this august on the beach during the fireworks competition at Scheveningen, The Hague, Netherlands. Of course tripod as well ;) Good luck
