Firework photography

I love taking photos of fireworks .This time of year is great for photography.With the combination of Halloween and firework night so close together,Its a very exciting time to get the cameras out the bag.
when you go to a display this year take your camera along and have a go you might be surprised at what you might capture .Get it right and you will capture some spectacular image's.If you have space and if possible use a tripod.But if not its no biggie you can get some great pics without one .But your light trails will be a bit shaky.But at the end of the day unless you are being paid to get it right .WHO CARES ? Its all about having fun with your photography and creating great images that make you feel happy .If other people like your work as well then that's an added bonus.
Use a low ISO.I use ISO 100 for low noise. Use an aperture of around  f8 to f16 you dont need to shoot faster than that as the light from fireworks are very bright.
Also more importantly use a long shutter speed to create the beautiful light trails .No flash is needed .

With these basic techniques in place go out and have some fun and enjoy your evening out .
