Do you mean a time exposure? It really depends on your camera model. Anyway you're talking about the shutter speed, and for fireworks, you will need slower speeds. On an older, manual camera, the shutter speed dial is on the upper right side of your camera, near the film advance knob. Mode settings might be on a dial on the upper left side. Newer electronic cameras will have it in the menu. Look for something like "Shutter speed" or "Tv" for a mode, and set it to slower speeds, like a second. You might also have a "Bulb" setting, which means the shutter stays open as long as you press it down. Either way, you will need to use a tripod to reduce vibrations from handholding the camera at slow speeds. Also, use a smaller aperture (f16, f32, or as small as yours goes--larger number means smaller aperture.)

I emailed you with full instructions. I have the same camera! For anyone else who wants to know, set the mode dial to "M", and use the command dials to set the shutter speed to "bulb" and aperture to the smallest setting (largest number).

Oh yeah, the command dials are on the hand grip side, shutter speed dial where your index finger rests and aperture dial where your thumb rests.

On the D70, you have access to a full manual mode as well as a shutter priority mode. These are designated as "M" and "S." If you choose one of these modes, the main command dial (the wheel by your right thumb) will adjust the shutter speed. You can set anywhere from 30 seconds to 1/8,000th of a second.

You can also exert some control in the "P" setting, using what Nikon calls "Flexible Program." As you rotate the main command dial, the shutter speed and aperture will both change at the meter-determined EV setting. If you move in the direction to increase shutter speed, the aperture will close (larger numbers) and vice versa.

I would suggest you select "Manual Focus" by setting the AF/M lever on the front of the camera to "M" and set the lens at "infinity" focus. Use slightly longer times, such as a full second, to capture a bit of trails in the fireworks display. You should probably start with the lens "wide open," meaning to use the biggest aperture (lowest number f-stop) and see if you like the results. It's digital, so play with it. Start by taking pictures AND examining your results as often as you can at the beginning of the show so you can adjust accordingly.
