Tips Photography : Firework

1. Don't guess the firework direction
    Point the lenses in order to sweep a wide area. after that you can edit yourself (crop, etc)

2. Use tripod or shutter release (cable or wireless)
    Tripod to keep the stability of the camera , with shutter release you will get the right moment

3. Use largest camera resolution
    This is to support the first tips above, more ideal use RAW. don't forget to use low ISO 100 or 200 to
    keep noise 

4. Turn off auto focus
    Direction the fireworks is fast plus low light conditions so using the auto focus will be too late. For that turn
    off auto focus and use manual focus.

5. Turn off flash
    Flash on your camera will not work at all while shooting fireworks, because the flash range is short and
    could even worsen the picture.

6. Exposure setting

    f/16  - shutter 2 second and iso 100 or aperture f/14 - shutter 2 second and iso 200. For rapid barrage
    fireworks aperture f/18 - shutter 1:25 second and iso 100. You can change this setting, this just a
    suggestion. for better use your setting taste.

7. Many photo as possible
