How to Photograph Fireworks
A "Patch" photographer gives advice on capturing the sparkle in the sky.
Capturing fireworks on camera is a challenge that can be mastered easily with the right equipment and settings on your camera. A short tutorial in the photo captions will help you capture the rockets' red glare this Fourth of July.
Equipment needed:
- Camera: Either point-and-shoot or an SLR
- Tripod: To keep the camera steady and prevent motion blur
- Flashlight: To see the camera settings in the dark
- Wireless Trigger: Not necessary, but it helps to prevent camera shake
