I'm going to the local fireworks display tonight, with Kenilworth Castle as a backdrop, and though of taking my Pentax MX. Most fireworks advice seems to be aimed at digeri cameras with high ISO; I'm loaded up with Vista 400, perhaps Superia 400 as a backup, don't think I want to risk Portra 400!
Do I just set it to 1 second, stick it on the monopod, open up the lens, focus at infinity, and 'avago? Presumably wider is better,and faster is better, so it would be a choice between the 35mm f/2 (that's currently on the camera), and a 28mm f/3.5... oh hang on, I've got a Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 in the drawer, I think. Presumably I should take the CPL off and maybe put a UV or skylight filter on to protect against mud, rain, etc?
