    Feel free to right click save as. You can then use a program like Nikon PP to see the EXIF.

    I shot in Manual mode, I think F/10, ISO 100, and between 2 and 5 seconds if I recall. If they were real bright white, I tried to adjust my shutter speed. Tried is the key word because I hardly had time to think since it all happened so fast. :D

    Wow, Nice! My pictures of the NYC fireworks were a complete disaster. I assume you used a Tripod? (I didn't) Can I ask which of your lenses in your sig (if any from there) you used?

    Thanx,
    Steve

    I used the Nikon DX 18-135mm @ 18mm. :)

    That lens and the Nikon 24-85mm I have useually makes for the best colors out of all four. I don't know why, but my guess is the lens coatings may be a factor in it.
