The official GS Photography competition

Re: The official GS Photography competition

So you used a tripod?

I have a question, relating to this (somewhat). I took my tripod and set it up on the roof on the Fourth of July to take pictures of the fireworks. I set it to the "night mode" (it slows down the shutter speed for more time to capture the light, I guess). Well, then I realized that the fireworks would go down as the picture was still being captured, so they wouldn't look like actualy fireworks in the picture (just a bunch of lines of light). How do people take pictures of the fireworks without this happening?
