THere are moments, when u cannot keep your camera in almirah. ...and that is the time shooting fireworks after sun sets......more than 75% of the photographers i met were curious of shooting fireworks.............................SNAP up beautiful fireworks using a d-cam with a shutter speed longer than 1/2 a second. ideally choose a shutter speed 2 to 10 seconds to capture all the sparkle. most essential, u will require a TRIPOD to avoid shaky, haphazard photos. so are the dangerous, the vibrations. if remote shutter release can be used, the better, otherwise a long lockable cable release may be the best alternative.
SET ISO setting to the lowest to reduce noise/grains. .....preview the shot on the LCD panel and accordingly adjust the aperture(shutter speed /aperture combination). while viewing fireworks on LCD screen, u will understand which aperture will be best for shutter speed of say 1/4 sec.so u can try f8,f11,f16 and take the shots to get the bright sharp photos.
FOR multiple fireworks u can use bulb setting, but be cautious to close the shutter, or put the lens cap over the lens, if used, as soon as the multi-bursts are out, to be at safer side..............u can shoot from a distance also to include the city lights, river, bridge etc which are already lighted by the city lights.........in this setting, if the bursts are many at side-by-side, u will get a good capture........so a simple but creative/lucrative happening for ur photography......good luck.
