How to shoot fireworks

The method of setting off fireworks is as follows:

First of all, we should clearly understand that the camera will record all the tracks of light and shadow within the shutter time and focus on a photo. At the same time, due to the different light intensity in different positions within the shooting range, the photos will appear relatively bright or dim, which is different from what we see with the naked eye.

This principle is generally known to people with photographic experience. Then you can learn the skills of fireworks shooting. Preparation: tripod, pay-off, black cardboard, position, wind direction and wind force. It's best to take a fully charged battery, tripod and cable release or shutter remote control, because it's low light shooting and exposure takes a long shutter time. Bring a piece of black cardboard if necessary, and its function will be explained in the fourth point below.

Then, choose the place to set off fireworks. If you shoot fireworks in a big scene, the height is the best. At the same time, it is better to set off fireworks in nearby buildings, because from the simple composition principle, photos with reference objects are more vivid. If you only shoot fireworks, you can't let the audience know how big the fireworks are. With the contrast of buildings, fireworks will be more spectacular.

It's like when we shoot scenery, sometimes we need to take some characters in. If possible, it is recommended to step on it during the day.

Also pay attention to the weather forecast of the day, pay attention to the wind direction and wind force, windy weather is a good day to set off fireworks. High air humidity and high visibility are also conducive to the shooting of fireworks. However, if the wind is not enough or there is no wind, it will be more troublesome to shoot, because there will be thick smoke after the fireworks are released, which will reduce or even isolate the effect of the next fireworks if they are not dispersed as soon as possible.

In addition, try not to shoot fireworks in the headwind and downwind. If you blow against the wind, smoke will affect your sight. If the wind blows, white smoke will become the background behind the fireworks, affecting the bright light of the fireworks.
