Happy 4th of July weekend! This has always been one of Andrew and my favorite holidays. Usually we head up to the mountains for a few days to enjoy the activities, but this year we have a niece getting married on the 4th – so a bit more family functions here in Denver. But you can still bet we’ll be out Friday and Saturday nights taking in the fireworks – and of course photographing them too.
So in honor of the 4th, I thought I would provide 7 tips to help you take better fireworks pictures this year.
1. Choose your location. Chances are you’ll have the option to choose from several different fireworks displays in your local community. Choose one that gives you the perspective you are looking for. Do you want to include just the fireworks? Or do you want to include more in your horizon? Find out exactly where the fireworks will be shot from, and plan your location accordingly.
