This is how I shot fireworks... and no I don't mean going to a fireworks stand clearing off a spot in my driveway and firing off dozens of (illegal) fireworks. Where I live most of the really fun fireworks-- anything that shoots up into the air -- have been deemed illegal. So not only are they hard to find but illegal to own. So, I'm going the safe route. I'm taking pictures-- get it-- shots of fireworks. As it turns out it's pretty easy, but only if you do a little research ahead of time, stick to your plan and have a little patience. A few things you'll need to know about: Aperture Shutter Speed Exposure ISO Basically, you'll have to switch to manual mode and prop your camera up on a tripod for this one. I set my aperture at 12 or 13. That's because i was pretty far away from all of the action. I could see the firework...
