How To Shoot Fireworks

Excerpt From Scott Kelby's Blog:

- Use tripod
- Use cable release
- Use a zoom lens (ideally a 200mm or more)
- Use Manual mode:

1. Set the Shutter Speed to 4 seconds

2. Set the Aperture to f/11. Fire a test shot and look at the LCD monitor on the back of your camera to see if you like the results. If it overexposes, lower the shutter speed to 3 seconds, then take another shot and check the results again.

TIP: If your camera has “Bulb” mode (where the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the shutter release button down), this works great–hold the shutter button down when the rocket bursts, then release when the light trails start to fade.
