[/FONT] [FONT=inherit]If you are wanting a shot with the monorail in it and miss it coming, remember that the front and rear look exactly the same It will just look like it is headed in the opposite direction. You may want to take the photo with both ends to see which one you like better. [/FONT] [FONT=inherit]For the. Fireworks shots I use a tripod with ISO 100, a smaller Fstop such as F16, and a shutter from 8 to 10 seconds long. The wider stops will produce Wide fuzzy light trails and the smaller stops will make the much more defined and detailed. If 10 seconds give you too many bursts in each shot just shorten it to 6 or 8 seconds. [/FONT] [FONT=inherit]Remember this is a family vacation and NOT a photography job. Remember you are taking pictures to capture the memories that you are having with family and friends. [/FONT] [FONT=inherit]I forgot the BIGGEST TIP OF ALL Don't wait until you get down there to try and figure out how your equipment works, practice and know what you are doing BEFORE YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/FONT] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
