Yay! it's something I can answer.. I think your tripod (I assume you were using a tripod to catch fireworks..) head was loose and your camera slipped during a bulb exposure. And the reason I can say this is because I've done it before ;) It was my 5n on a Velbon mountain chaser tripod (I think it's a great mid range tripod [got it about AUD$180] btw.. if anything I might save up for a bogen ball head sometime) with a midrange tilt/pan head which I just didn't tighten. I suddenly saw it slip and I grabbed it, and meanwhile it was just exposing away, painting matrixy lines and purdy colours.. http://www.geocities.com/heygoosey/slippy.jpg Now all we need is a manifesto and we can have our own little photography movement.. This other photo I took shows what the scene looks like sans tripod inaptitude http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?topic_id=1481&msg_id=005u98&photo_id=1725698&photo_sel_index=1
