Whiz, boom, sizzle! Fireworks paint the sky with
a myriad of colors. You too can light up people's
faces when they see what great shots you've captured.
But you need to know these "tricks" to get
great photos.
Find a good
position
Tree branches
and fireworks don't mix, so be sure to find a good location.
You probably won't be moving around, so search for a
position where buildings and people won't obstruct your
view.
Hold the camera
extra steady
To avoid blurry pictures,
brace your camera on a railing, the back of a chair
or a table, or against a column or tree. This helps
keep the camera from moving and blurring the pictures.
Or use a pocket or full-size tripod.
Take lots of pictures
It's hard to estimate how
long the fireworks will keep bursting. And, of course,
you'll want to try and catch the bursts at their maximum
bloom. So keep snappin' away to make sure you go home
with pictures to treasure.
