I love your stuff, and so helpful since I purchase my D7000. Question: do you have a pdf. or similar showing all the settings for the projects posted on Youtube? It would be great to have a notebook in my camera bag that I could refer to when a great shot opportunity arises. Tom in the Philippines

Nope, sorry, why can't you just, uh, write them down?

The photograph you have in the video at 2:48 is stunning, I'd love that on my wall. Where was it taken?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

At a local fair, they have a fireworks display every night for two weeks.

good tutorial.i have a question though.why did u turn off long exposure noise reduction? turning it off simply shows some noise in the outcome of the pic.

Watch the video again, your answer is there.
