Hi all!

I am going to a ship's naming ceremony tonight with a light show and fireworks display and want to get some pictures.

I have a 350d with various lenses but I reckon the best one I've got for the job will be a sigma 28-105 F/2.8-4 because of the larger aperture. I am in a grandstand seating area so can't use a tripod.

And that is as far as I've got....:rolleyes:

Any tips for getting some decent pictures would be appreciated and please assume that I know nothing!

Other lenses I've got are kit lens (18-55), Sigma 10-20, Tamron 55-200 and Canon 28-80 USM. I also have a G5 but can't see why that would be any better.

I am at work so probably won't be able to reply to posts but thank you in advance!! Promise to post some pictures if they aren't black cat at night standard! :lol:

Put the camera away and enjoy the show. Fireworks without a tripod is futile.
