How to take good fireworks pictures with Canon Digital Camera?

[adlep]

I am going to to a fireworks display tonight, in downtown Detroit. Since I will be watching the display from a premium location (57th floor over at the RenCen 😀), I want to make sure that I'll manage to snap some high quality photos...
Help...

No flash, night setting, that's in the auto mode.

Manual: RTFM.

I am asking for the manual, and I have RTFM, thanks...:|

Which f stop and shutter speed works best specifically with the A-70?

You'll probably want to set the focus to infinity, use a tripod and a slower shutter speed.

You if had RTFM, the you'll know how to adjust the aperture and shutter speed and such. Since it's a DIGITAL camera, you can experiment with different settings at night taking picture of something bright, with a tripod (or in your room, the basement should be dark enough). :| :|

😛

EDIT: WTF is wrong with me, I think one thing and write another, for instance the fcuked up You and if, and missing the n on then. 🙁 I'm getting old.....

I know how to ajust these settings,
what I don't know is how to apply these setting to the specific situation, such us fireworks display.

Gotta love Detroit! And Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for saying there would be riots after the Finals. Where would he get such a crazy notion? :roll:
