Well that's pretty straightforward! The problem with that mode for, at least last night, is that I don't yet have a remote release, so I'd be risking camera shake since I'd have to press the shutter on the body. I absolutely see the benefit of bulb mode for fireworks, though. That is exactly the kind of control I wished to have when I was shooting last night! Instead, I had to sort of play the timing game and hope that I was in sync with the rhythm of the fireworks, and press the shutter two seconds before the "beat", if you know what I mean. The remote would have made my shots MUCH easier.


Thank you for teaching me something new about photography, though. Now I MUST get a remote release.
