That's funny.
I had the tripod out with my remote shutter fire. I played around with a few different things. My best attempts were using high ISO and high shutter speeds But still on the fast moving stuff, it was all streaks. A bigger lens that collects more light is probably what I needed, but I'm just guessing. You got it figured out.
Now, off I go to close that other thread.
Low ISO (there's plenty of light from your subject matter), aperture priority (I let the camera do this, f/7.1 was it's choice), 2-4 sec exposure (3 is optimal- you usually want the streamers to mostly play out).
Here's a 100% crop of one of my favorites- love the detail. It's kind of amazing considering how far away it was. I bow to the gods of Nikon.
