Hi Clive - I used a tripod with a 2 second timer delay, started off with ISO 800 but it wasnt freezing the fireworks so upped it to ISO 1600.
The camera sorted the rest out in Auto. Never tried it before, binned quite a few and kept the rest. Martin.

They have turned out very well. I cheated and watched from our front room window
