I forgot all about the noise reduction setting when I took my recent fireworks pictures. It was a 10 minuets show and I started shooting about 4-5 minuets into it. I only managed 5 shots because I forgot to turn the bloody noise reduction off.
Noise reduction works great, but it's frustrating when you have to wait for the next frame while the best part of the show is happening in front of you. Dave P.S. It also didn't help that I was shooting in Av mode. The meter kept setting 30 sec. exposure times, when in some cases 10-15 seconds would have been enough. Bulb next time definitely.
