Maybe one of the experts on the net can offer a solution to the problem 
I encountered last night. I took a boat over to the East River (New York City)
last night to catch the fireworks. I brought ASA 1000 speed film to catch
the action. Even with the high speed film, the shutter speed was very slow
(in the neighborhood of 1/30 sec). With such slow shutter speeds, it is
hard to keep the camera steady enough to avoid blur in the pictures. I 
thought of bringing my tripod but figured setting it up on the deck of a 
floating boat wouldn't solve the problem. Would this of helped or is it
an unsolvable problem. How about setting the camera at 1600 ASA (as high
as my camera goes) and having the film pushed during development?
