Fireworks

[mfrashuer]

I have the Olympus E-10 camera. I love it. Takes great pictures. I have a problem with taking firework pictures. Everytime I get trails. They look like a one of those long ballons that circus people make ballon animals with. Is there any suggestions to get better pics?

Are you using a tripod? That's the first requirement. There are a number of threads here about shooting fireworks; take a look at this one (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12276&highlight=fireworks)
