    I just added a short article with links to a couple of excellent fireworks resources on PhotographyREVIEW.com, including a fireworks lesson with the Olympus E-3.

    I used the fireworks scene on most, I tried a few on the night scene just for comparison. Night scene has a much shorter exposure. Maybe I'll be ready for fully manual by New Year's Eve ones.
