Yes, download it! I'd love to see it. I was inspired by a friend's results from a display last year. Really made me want to give it a try this year.

Yes, the delay is pretty strong for fireworks but I know from experience that a film camera is all about successful shutter delay to get fireworks images. (I dated a pro photographer for a bazillion years. You should see some of his work. )

What was wild shooting these was that I couldn't use the screen to focus -- it stayed totally black. I had to use the viewfinder to frame and then it would focus, delay and then click. I didn't even see everything I was shooting as I was shooting it. It was weird, but very fun.
