Thanks to all those that responded to my original question. Although most people addressed the correct way of shooting fireworks from a stationary point, a few people did address the problem of shooting them from a boat (very UNstationary). From the responses I received I guess it is better not to take pictures of fireworks from a boat at all. The exposure times are too long and a moving tripod doesn't help. I haven't gotten the pictures back yet, all I can do is hope. By the way, Modern Photography gives the following recommendations (based on Kodak): ASA Recommended Aperture 25 f//4.5 50 f/5.6 64 f/5.6 100 f/8 160 f/11 200 f/11 400 f/16 1000 f/22 They, too, recommended exposure at "B" to give better shots.
