Hi,
For me (newbie) I choose Tv when I need to ensure speed (i.e. you want sharp pic when object/hand moves), I use Av when I shoot in dark condition (can adjust aperture mah). But my habit may not be the best.
The exposure time for firework depends on how long you want the tail of the firework ba (that said, provided you know the exact timing the fireworks explode in the air lah). If not I think 2 sec is typical (a good bracket timing to allow tail and capture the booming)....again, I haven't try leh...going to try this NDP, my Aunt's new flat can catch good view of the Nation Stadium!!

btw, any tips on how you all decide when to use Tv mode and when to use Av mode?
for taking fireworks, i did some testing on fireworks mode, it seems like its just F8, shutter speed 2sec, no info on ISO. is it recommended to use manual settings instead? if so, other than F8, long shutter speed (is 3-4sec ok?), any other settings (like ISO/exposure)? hm, or maybe i got it all wrong above, and you have a better setting that is tried and tested? kindly advise! thanks!
