For some reason I think of Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus when I see all those fireworks. If you don't know what I'm talking about then don't worry.

Beer is cheaper than gas, so drink up and don't drive.

Geez, even if i did bring any i don't know where you'd put it.

Ah fireworks and beer, the greatest combination for blowing a hand off lol.

For the picutres, use the lowest aperature setting lens you have. What were those shot with? I'd say a 1.8 would work well, along with a good ISO setting. Not sure how your Nikon does at high ISO though.

It's a shame you don't have any GOOD beer in there....

Guess you've never gone to college, many people have opted out for bad beer in exchange for getting drunk. Heck, when i visited my brother when he was in college he drank MGD, stuff was horrible but it served its purpose.

i started out shooting at ISO 100 with an aperature of 2.8 and shutter speeds right around 1 second to 1/10th

after a while i switched to ISO 800 with F2.8 and shutter at around 1/30th most of the good images came from this setup.

tripod used for both. any recommendations other then what i tried? i got 2 more nights to practice

the d80 on ISO800 actually does far better then i though it would, infact all my paintball pics on my flicker are taken at ISO800 with little to no grain on most of the images.

i see an excaliber motor kit, very very good choice, we had 2 of those last night, they've got nice PVC launching tubes.

I hope you mean plasitc or fiberglass and not PVC. PVC is brittle, and will turn into shrapnel if your shell accidentally explodes inside it.

I think its some sort of pressure rated ABS.

but yeah... next to the sparkler bombs, that was the loudest thing on the block.
