Before this year, it was difficult to take photographs of fireworks, as I didn't have a proper tripod for the camera, only a small mini-tripod. Now that I have to Berlebach 3042, which I bought for the star-gazing binoculars, I have a really stable tripod to use for photography.
Putting a 0.3 kg camera on a 4.5 kg tripod may be a bit overkill, or at least the LX3 looked really tiny on top of the massive tripod. But I managed to take quite a few photographs of fireworks, so this combo works quite well. And I didn't even bother with using a self-timer, as I realized there wasn't hardly any tremble when I pressed the shutter on the LX3.
Not all photographs succeeded properly, because I was using automatic exposure instead of manual, but even some of the overexposed photographs were sort of interesting to see.
Happy New Year 2011!
