Shooting fireworks

New Year's Eve, eh! Many of you may be setting the world on fire. Some of you just want to document the action. For those of you shooting fireworks with a camera (see what I did there), here's a quick start guide (one of many).


Follow at least these steps.
  1. Start by using a Tripod
  2. Use a Remote Release
  3. Frame Your Shot
  4. Choose the best Focal Length
  5. Select the right Aperture
  6. Get your Shutter Speed Right
  7. Set your ISO
  8. Switch off your Flash
  9. Shoot in Manual Mode
  10. Experiment and Track Results

Last but not least, remember to stay on safe distance from the action. In case the fireworks decides to explode first and then take off... Happy New Year!!
