Shooting the Fourth of July Fire works
by

The 4th of July is upon us and you’ll want to shoot the fireworks. Here are a few tips the experts tells us to do when you are taking the shots.
• First and foremost use a tripod. You’ll be shooting at night and you don’t want to have any movement on the camera part or you’ll get blurry images.
• Some of the newer cameras have auto settings for fireworks if yours has this setting then of course that is the best one to use.
Otherwise
• Turn off the camera flash or it will wash out the photo.
• Turn off any auto features if you possibly can or otherwise set the camera on Landscape.
• If you can adjust your ISO set it to 400, Higher ISO’s will put noise on your image.
• Set your F/stop to the highest setting, you may want to adjust and experiment with your ISO and F/stop once you’ve snapped off a few shots.
• Turn off your Auto focus otherwise you may loose the big bursts waiting for it to focus.
If you have a point and shoot camera be quick and you can edit your shots in you digital darkroom.
