With the 4th of July coming here in the States and I'm sure other opportunities around the world I thought I would pass on an article my wife emailed me. Enjoy and hope its helpful.

Thanks for the article. The hardest thing I find is not overemphasizing the smoke that gets lit up well into fireworks displays. I always find that my better, cleaner shot are almost always from the beginning of a fireworks display.

I know what you mean, I love when there is a slight wind to help move the smoke, my hardest part to get right is the finale (spelling?). I want good shots but am almost always overexposed cause I'm usually not sure when it is and am on the wrong setting still.

Bring tripod to park Monday night.

Thanks for the article. I am going to try and get a few shots off.

Thanks Scott! I haven't tried (seriously) shooting fireworks before, so I'm thinking this will be my year. The article you posted will no doubt help many folks :-)
