Last night I took the chance to photograph the fireworks show in downtown Minneapolis for the annual Aquatennial celebration. It was my first time shooting fireworks so it was actually pretty fun trying to time the bursts. Out of 100 shots, I probably have five photos that are worthy of keeping.
Hi Jennifer, I went through this over the 4th and got a dew more but I did find it difficult to make the adjustments and still catch them as they were opening. Over the summer I will be practicing at Seaworld that shots them off every night. That is as soon as I get a tripod.
A tripod is a must, and if your camera lens has IS (image stabilzer), make sure to turn it off. A wireless remote is great, but if you don't have one, use your camera timer. Listen for the initial boom from the ground and time them from there. Goodluck!
