I decided to try shooting some fireworks photos last weekend ( our independance day weekend here in the good ole' U S A ) found a turorial on the net, and gave it a shot. Things needed: Tripod, remote or cable release, manual focus to infinity, 8 second exposure, f11. I would say it worked out well !!
And I also scored a "new" old camera on eBay, a 60s model Asahi Pentax S1a, fully manual and mechanical, no batteries or electronics at all, it rocks !!
And a few photos I shot with it on the 4th of July at my friends fathers house.

Re: Fireworks!!
Wow, nice job!
Congrats on the new camera too! It's almost surprising that you can still get film for that!

Re: Fireworks!!
Film isn't hard to find, most drug stores still sell it. The cost can be a bit high to get it processed, but Target stores here will process it and scan it to a CD pretty reasonably. I had 2 rolls processed and put on a CD for about $6.50, not TOO bad. I'll still shoot mostly digital, but it's fun to go "old school" with film sometimes.

...When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.
