Fireworks

Shooting fireworks is a no brainer.
1. Set tripod
2. Aim camera
3. Set Manual focus (to inf)
4. Set exposure time to ~5-10s
5. Wait for first shoot
    Re-aim camera if needed
    Sorry you may miss a couple in the process
6. Initiate MD script
7. Enjoy fireworks instead of having you eye stuck in the camera view finder or the hands on the remote.
8. Go home enjoy the pics.

Draw backs: Most pics are almost so perfect they look fake.

You made me smile.  I took some pictures of fireworks recently and I agree with you.  Most of them are as perfect as fake ones. :)

NICE! I wouldn't think of using MD script for fireworks, but it makes perfect sense!
