I grabbed this quick shot with my cell phone camera (Samsung Focus) during some unexpected fireworks.

For best possible firework photographs remember the following:

1. tripod – very important

2. ISO 100-400. Fireworks are brighter than you think

3. F stop 5.6 to 8.0

4. Exposure. That’s where the fun and creativity come to play. You can do long exposures (as long as you’re on a tripod!!) or even multiple exposures

Enjoy and be safe!
