Thanks dude. Blazing Saddles is a quality flick, so that's ok.

Looks really good Tonus. When you shoot pics of them, do you have to time it perfect or is there a trigger you can set up to see the bright lights?

Thanks man!

I have a remote shutter release, and I wouldn't have been able to take pics like this without it. I set the camera up on a tripod and put it in manual exposure mode. I set it to "bulb" exposure, which means that I just hold the shutter open for however long I'd like. I dial in the aperture value I want and the ISO value that I want, and just go to town. Pretty much every pic came out looking good, the only thing I had to do was frame the shots properly since you never know where the fireworks are going to go. 8)
