I read the article on Fireworks Photography and it was really helpful.

This was taken at our 4th of July celebration. A little boy was eager to show us a tank war.

These are some firework shots from last year, the exif info should be on flickr. Enjoy!

Tip 1: Foreground elements, not needed as evident in my photos (I tried but it wasn't really the spot for adding foreground elements) but still, a great addition

Tip 2: While great firework shots can be in color, I found that all my B&W shots turned out tons better...

Tip 3: Use a long shutter speed

Tip 4: Tri-pod, In my photos I didn't use one, cause they weren't allowed, just had to be very steady and use objects to stabilize

Tip 5: Post Processing can change the photos around a lot, some photos that look like trash are complete winners if you just crop a little and maybe convert to B&W

Tip 6: EXPERIMENT!!

HAVE FUN!!

View all of my photos on my Flickr Photostream!

Hi, Happy Independence Day!

Just my share of the fireworks rehearsal we have over in Sunny Singapore.

This is my second attempt at fireworks. My first attempt a couple of years ago didn't go as well. I learned a lot then and I'm pretty happy with these. Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans.
