Creative Tips for Explosive Fireworks Photography

Description

Fireworks displays can be a wonderful opportunity to create powerful photographs. My goal is to break away from the traditional imagery and capture something totally unique. To get started you just need three essential pieces of gear. My typical setup for photographing fireworks is a tripod and ballhead, a DSLR camera, and a telephoto zoom lens. While I shoot with a focal length of 70-200mm, just about any medium telephoto lens will do. You'll be doing a lot of shooting, so a full battery and empty memory card are also recommended.
