TIPS NEEDED- Swim Club-fireworks, etc. Hi all and HAPPY 4th of July w/e ! For those who don't know me, I just got back into film-based photography after 20 years. I have a Maxxum-5 with an AF 28-100 lens and a Tamron 100-300 mm lens. I just got a tripod and a few filters (UV, ND, and star). The management of the swim club I belong to asked if I would take pics for their web site on 7/3 and 7/4. They also have fireworks on 7/4. ANY tips (I KNOW this is a VERY broad question), would be helpful. Also, with firworks, do I use a tripod? And what speed film? (800 or 1600?) Any ideas for selecting a shutter speed for the fireworks? Lat question: Which lens should I use for the firworks? (Should I use any of the filters I mentioned?) Thanks so much. SO many people have been immensely helpful here. =) mike

"Do I use a tripod?" Yes. "What film speed?" "...Shutter speed?" "Which lens?"
