2 most important things to remember when shooting fireworks:
ReplyDelete1. Put your camera on a tripod.
2. Use 'bulb' setting if your camera has it.
Also, if you have time, go scout out the perfect location a couple nights before the fireworks are set off. You don't want to be running around looking for a good place to shoot the night of the show.
