Description Well fiery looking streaks anyway. More fireworks stuff. Taken with "fireworks" settings. Still not sure how to use it correctly.

Thanks! I was just experimenting with this setting having never really used it before.  Normally I delete a photo if I don't get the effect I desire, but here I thought it looks cool.

The "fireworks" setting leaves the shutter open longer.  This allows the camera to capture more light.  It works best if you can use a tri-pod to minimize how much the camera is moving during the shot.  

Try experimenting with stationary lights.  Like, a Christmas light, or a lamp post.  Put it on the "fireworks" setting and take a shot.  Move the camera wildly about as you take it and you should be able to see a streak of light (probably wiggly) instead of a single light.  

Next, try holding the camera as still as possible and taking a picture of the same object.   

It's fun to experiment with new settings.  That's how I learned about our camera.  By messing with the settings.  My husband (who actually took a few photography classes) helped me out a great deal when I asked him to.
