Fireworks - How to Photograph them

[LizM]

There again, you can always break the rules and get away with it too. I shot the following the other night with my camera resting on my camera bag in my lap at a baseball game. Didn't even look through the viewfinder except between the first couple of shots to guess at where to aim. The settings were ISO 200, and 1.6 seconds I believe. Basically, keep shooting and you'll find out what works for you. Some fireworks are bright and need less time, some take more time. Just keep experimenting!!!
