Just thought I would chime in on a different technique that I used. In this case this was quite difficult because I was laying on the side of a pitching boat and had no tripod (not that it would have mattered). This was shot with a Nikon D-80 at ISO 1600, F5.3, and held open for 1/200 of a second. The nice effect out of this was that the explosions had very minimal streaking.

Thanks for the great tips. I followed most of them and by playing around and shooting about 200 shots, I got some nice shots that night. I wish I had remembered to zoom in more, but that is what learning is all about.

Thanks
