This is what i have learned out of my second try at shooting fireworks.
1. Choose the Right spot. Find out beforehand the right spot for a better composition. Go early and be ready for the moment.
2. Always have some reference. Don’t just shoot in the Air. There are exceptions for this. If you are going to get a great firework pattern then Yes, go for it.
3. Look at the Wind direction. If the wind is blowing towards you then choose some other spot.
4. Do some practice with the exposure. Take sample shots of the scene before the fireworks start. Try again once the fireworks start. Lighting conditions may change rapidly depending on the intensity and frequency of the fireworks.
5. Remote Remote Remote. Buy a remote. It is very helpful not only to shoot fireworks. It will help you in enjoying the spectacle rather than sticking your head into the view finder.
