Any tips, hints, links, whatever you have. New Years is on it's way. How would you photograph it?

There was a short thread on this a little while ago, here:
Fireworks & Fire
But someone else might have some good tips.

One thing I haven't seen in any of the other threads (or the great articles they referred to) is to set the white balance to "Daylight" or "Sunny". This seems counterintuitive for a night shot, but using automatic white balance is likely to reduce the vibrancy of the fireworks colors. The camera will treat the brightest thing it sees as "white".
Even better, if your camera supports RAW mode, use it. Then you can fiddle with the white balance during post-processing to find the best setting. |

Great point, Dr Rick. I think I saw the effect you mentioned, and didn't wind up putting any thought into how to fix it. I hope I remember that in July!
