Big fireworks shows are thrilling to watch, and they make thrilling photo subjects. Because it's night photography, you'd think that all of the rules of shooting in low light would apply for this.Fireworks are a great way to burn film. The formula I use is f8 for 100 as a film with a 4 to 12 second exposure. The exposure is hit and miss - using the bulb feature on the camera and a cable release, open the shutter when it looks like the fireworks will be good and hold the shutter open for as long as you need to fill up the image. (A tripod is a must - a clamp works in a pinch. If you can't support the camera, don't bother). Blue fireworks are difficult to capture (they are dim) and green fireworks are generally the brightest.
