Thanks for the info. For the fireworks this Australia Day, I was thinking if I should capture just the fireworks in the sky (i.e. without any buildings at the background) or should I capture the fireworks together with the buildings.

If I take the shot with the buildings in mind, I am thinking the DA14 would do nicely. Then again, the fireworks will appear too small in the picture. Some websites say we should stand far away to avoid the smoke, so they recommend a zoom lens. But I think the 28-75 range as suggested by you guys seem to make a lot of sense, so this is what I will most likely use on that day.

If the exposure time for fireworks is in the region of 1sec (or 2sec), then NR on will still be acceptable on my k100D. I think I will definitely shoot raw this time.

Do u guys use the black card in between firework burst?
