I alternate for shows (depends on surrrounds too) its a mood thing for me I think

For Australia day I will go back to including buildings as I didn't for New Years..

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

never tried that, with 2-3 second exposures it wouldn't be that practical I wouldn't think...
