Link all you want. @ Clayton- You're referring to "Additionally, use the method of focusing that video professionals use: zoom in, focus perfectly on the subject and then zoom out to compose your shot." In the video world, what you do to get your shot perfectly focused is you zoom in all the way (sometimes even using expanded focus settings) focus accurately and precisely on your subject then zoom out fully and recompose your shot. Recomposing may mean that you may want to keep your shot very wide or you may want to zoom in tighter based on your own preferences. All this depends on your Megapixels as well: a 15MP sensor will allow for tighter cropping than a 10MP sensor will in post-production. Hope that clears up any confusion. @ Ashley- Sure thing.

Probably the photoblogs/flickr etc will be filled with fireworks shots, for the meantime, here are some "natural" fireworks from Israel :) http://www.ilanbresler.com/2009/05/maze.html We are not celebrating the 4th of July here (Israel) so I won’t have opportunity to shoot any fireworks anytime soon, but I do wish to congratulate all who do celebrate!
