Firework Photographs

I have seen some fantasic fireworks pictues here. If there is anyone out there like me who can't seem to get a good shot of the fireworks, here are some tips I found online today.

I guess im weird. This has been one area I have always loved to shoot and have never had issues with. Cant wait for tomorrow night because we will be seeing some fireworks, and ill be taking photo's. There are like 3 settings on my camera, and one is for picking out light in the dark and making it bright, which is great for fireworks.

But those are great tips. Phone cameras always seem to do well... well... all my iPhones have.

I have to check the settings on my camera to see if I have a fireworks setting.

Play with your camera... there is usually a setting for low light. Thats kinda the setting I use but with a couple tweaks to it.

I used my fireworks setting last summer and they were all blurry! I used the regular setting- no flash- and perfect! Go figure!

Using a foreworks of low light setting usually works best with a tripod.

I haven't been to WDW with my new camera but my old one was awful at taking pictures of fireworks. Either the fireworks would look great and the castle was all blurry or the castle would be awesome and the fireworks would like ridiculous.
