Photographing Fireworks

[Jeff D. Welker]

With July 4th fast approaching and assuming that conditions will allow for a few large displays of fireworks somewhere in Arizona, I thought you might find this article by Joe McNally helpful. It's called "Prepping for the 4th". In typically McNally fashion, a short story (I found interesting) proceeds the more technical comments about photographing fireworks. I hope you find this helpful.

Thanks for sharing this Jeff, I've had some good luck in the past with fireworks but I've has some miserable failures also. Like power lines I hadn't seen until the wife pointed them out near the end of the shoot. They are always a challenge which makes it fun to "try" to do better each time.
