Tips To Capture New Year's Eve Fireworks

Did you go to a fireworks display for New Years Eve, and when you looked at the photographs they were not what you expected, well here are some simple steps to help you next time…..or even for Bonfire Night…the same applies:

1. Get there early: Walk around the area and choose a good spot with the right vantage point.  Areas with a lot of people, water reflections, monuments or tall buildings can make a great photo.

2. Select a stable and secure surface: Snapping photos of fireworks means that you'll be shooting at lights with a dark background.  You will need a steady surface in order to capture the exact movement of the light.  Use a tripod or set your camera on a steady surface.

3. Smaller ISO and larger exposure time: Try experimenting with the different camera settings.  We recommend that you use exposure times in a range between 1/2 second to 5 seconds.  Also, a small ISO (100/200) will result in photos with better sharpness.
