Im sure you will have a nice time!

You'll be shooting at f11 or f16 with 100 speed film. The buildings will probably
expose fine (not blown out) with an exposure of several seconds. Lit windows will be
blown, don't worry, have fun.

Tomorrow night I'll be in an office on the 69th floor of the Empire
State Building shooting the fireworks on the East River. I know that I
should get 100 ISO film and take long exposures with a wide angle lens,

Hoping to come back with something PUG-worthy. ;)

Depends. I handheld some fireworks shots last night (3-5 seconds), and I
used a mixture of 400 and 800 film. I prefer to use slower film and
steady the camera on something local

Yep!
I have tried it and it works great. Try some long exposures; astonishing
results.

Sounds like my Yashica A; it requires a Cable Release Adapter (aka "leica
nipple"), click on the B&H link below for more info.
There is a small knurled bezel at the base of the shutter release button.
This unscrews, then you screw the adapter on in its place. The adapter takes
a regular mechanica
Hi Amita...
I've recently been working on photographing large displays, and discovered
the following: Go for slow film (ISO 100 or so), a tripod and a shutter
release. Set your camera to its Bulb setting. Open the shutter when you see
the shell go up and close the shutter after a couple of bursts

Hmmm...I hadn't thought of that. I do have a bunch of Kodak Gold 200
and I was planning to use my tripod. I'll be in Greenport, LI for the
4th.
I just noticed there's a B setting on my Yashicamat. Now if I can just
figure out w

down. Pics came out great. (Get 36 exposure rolls.) Also, I used a tripod of
course. You don't need fast film for good results. Slower is actually
better.
Good luck.

Why not try slow film and a tripod? interesting effects that way.
Last 4th of July Rob Studdart and his lady were here with me watching
them from
my roof - still hoping he will get a pic or two from then up (NOT the
ones I took
shooting with his camera tho :) )
My plan for this July 4th is to
I'm planning on using 160. If you're going to try to handhold I hear 800
works better.
