You have to look like the biggest creeper on the streets.
You'd be surprised how friendly people are. And how many are completely oblivious to my presence. Even with a 28mm, I'm practically in their face and yet I go mostly unnoticed. Also, my charm.
I really need to get me a Leica M9 though. The D700 is freaking huge. Perhaps a Sony NEX, but I wish they'd stick a full frame sensor in there.

Took some shots at the fireworks display last night. I'm not very good with them.
Used the "multiple exposure" feature on the 5D3. ISO was 400/200 for most all of the shots.
Some are somewhat noisier than I would have hoped. The ones where I used more ISO with shorter exposures seemed to be less noisy than the longer exposures with less ISO

Thanks!

Back when I shot fireworks with my Nikon D50 like five years ago I did something like 3 second exposures at F11. My best ones are here: http://www.photosbygregstrong.com/p757457090
They're post-processed to clean them up a bit and darken the background a tad, but the original out of camera shots were very good. I haven't tried again since. I've just shot video instead at the annual local fireworks show.

F16 and 5 second exposures... there were way way way too many fireworks going off here for that to work.
gotta try different things though
make sure you cover the lens between fireworks, be a 2nd shutter and the images will turn out great, you won't get the wind drift and your ambient should be much lower..
This is how I do it
press shutter, shutter opens.....(put book in front of lens(first time I forgot my book in my car and used my wallet, and it worked great), see firework go up, remove book, BOOM! firework explodes, put book back, wait until next one goes up, remove book *boom crackle fizz* put paper back on... repeat
Looking at my photos I was doing 15 second exposures @f/14 at iso 200... I'd post a picture but they are on flickr and I stopped paying for that service... its pretty much dead to me
