Great pics, I tried to take some but they didn't turn out too good.

I have the same camera. Some of those shots are pretty good.

looks like you need a tripod and a remote shutter release, your pics were a little haywire there at the beginning, but got better towards the end.

A+ for effort though, fireworks are tough to shoot.

hmmm, sounds like your settings might have been a little off then, or you had a nasty crosswind which was moving your camera.

here's some good tips for you in the future.

Except for two that looked a little blurry/out of focus, I think all of them look good. You can definately tell a tripod was used, I don't know what would make you question whether one was used or not. Which shots specifically do you think he had issues with?

go back and look at his shots, then look at my shots and compare the two. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing his effort, i'm just pointing out that something was off...whether it be the settings, or if he wasn't using a tripod and shutter. at first I thought he had done them free hand, because of all the blur, and movement and some of the light from the fireworks seems faded/subdued and the pics have a lot of background noise, whereas mine are crisp, clear, vibrant, and their is no background noise, and the background is completely black and not grainy with noise.

i think it was more the fact that he probably wasn't holding the shutter release in long enough, and his ISO setting was a little too high (he had it set at 200), he shoulda set it at 100, and increased his aperture to F/11 or F/13, I think his results would have been a lot better but it's all about learning, and getting familiar, he had some good shots in there. just giving some constructive critique. :beer:
