Hi there,

You're not doing much wrong! Maybe a bit tighter crop for those where you're not including the whole skyline, but otherwise, nice shots.

thanks for the advice... does " tigher crop" means focuing more on the fireworks?

nice shots!!! I think what Jed means is that for pictures where you want the viewers to focus on the fireworks, zoom in more so that the fireworks occupy more of the picture.

could you share with the rest of us the settings you use? Thanks!

f8 ( smallest liao.. )
