Tips to photograph fire works

Although New Year's Eve has passed but I want to give you tips to photographing fire works.

what are you and camera need to do? 

• Use tripod (required)
• Use cable release (your eyes will be free to watch the sky)
• If you don't have cable release, use the camera timer
• Use the highest photo quality, size and resolution (you can crop later)
• Aperture f/16 - Shutter speed 2 second
• Aperture f/18 - Shutter speed 1.25 second
• ISO 100
• Turn off the built-in flash
• Switch Auto focus to Manual
• Frame a part of the sky where you anticipate the fire works to burst
• Press the shutter when the fire works starts up
• Verify your memory cards are empty
• Charge your batteries
• Find a good location
• Take photograph as much as possible

Have great fire works....!
