Few Tips To Photograph Fireworks

The main secret behind shooting the firework is to use the slow shutter speed so that you can easily record the colorful and dramatic light. This also means that you need a kind of camera that would help you to click the steady and non blurred shot. The best method to make your camera steady is to use a tripod. However you can try to support yourself beside the building or tree. If you are using the digital SLR camera than buy the shutter release cable as this would help you to click the photo without even touching your camera. And if your camera has the firework mode than it will automatically adjust your camera's settings for night photography.

The firework mode would help to achieve better results. It makes the flash off, bumps down aperture and shutter speed, helps to lower ISO. Most of the photographers use long exposures for the more creative control. Some camera may lack the firework specific mode, but still it would allow you to manually adjust some settings. In that case set the lowest ISO setting of your camera which would help you to minimize the distraction. Then you must also turn off the automatic focus so that it would not search the subject in dark especially when you start the exposure. If your camera does not have any manual focus control than try to use the landscape mode of your camera, which would also set focus to the infinity.

for the slow speed of the shutter (between one to fifteen seconds would work) depending absolutely on the light and how many fireworks are there in the sky. So the longer your exposure would be more fireworks you would be able to click. So you can start with the shutter speed one second to five second and you can see the difference in the result and for more long exposure you can aim to cover the lens with the lens cap or the hands so that you can easily avoid the overexposing of the photo.
