Artist Reply: I'm an ex-photojournalist and when I left the paper I left all my camera gear with Sun Media. I am now shooting with nothing more than a seven-year-old Canon SD10 Digital ELPH. The trick with the fireworks was a very good tripod and the choice of a vantage point that guaranteed the four kids would be silhouetted. And thanks to digital and a big SD card, I was able to shoot lots. (News shooters know that one good picture is all one needs.) --- Cheers!
