I'll have to try action mode on my camera, Kaler.. tho I'm sure my camera isn't as nice as yours LOL. All of my spectro pics are unrecognizable. and as I said the fireworks photos are mostly crowd shots or black.
My pic was purely by accident.. I have 3 similar.. and it upset me at first because the view of DTD/ PI was so cool from the boat back to POFQ but I guess the speed of the boat blurred the pics. The more I looked at them, though, the more I liked them!
