This is my first attempt with the D70 to capture fireworks and a bonfire.

It was only shots in the neighbours backyard so it was a bit difficult to catch the bursts. Didnt know when they were going to go off or where in the sky they were going to hit. I also didnt have a remote so was using the timer.

Its a lot harder than i thought it would be.

Me either, for some reason IE just hangs. Best to stick to JPGs or PNGs if you can.

You can post anything you like, but not everyone is equipped to open TIFFs. Besides, pound for pound JPGs are a fraction of the size and therefore far more suitable
