Re: D3100 Tips and settings
I would think that for the museum and the fireworks, the tripod is kind of essential. You might be ok with a monopod in a museum with high iso, but for the fireworks I don't see how it could be well done without it. And don't forget that most people will stop moving around when the fireworks begin. Once your set up, they might just respect the tripod.
Maybe someone else has a different approach ?
