How to shoot fireworks July 4th is coming up, and I would like to know what is the best way to photograph fireworks. Do I need any special equipment? Do I need fast or slow film- or does it even matter? Thanks, ~M.B.~

Hi Michelle, I read an article just recently on here about photographing Fireworks. I don't remember the link but I'm sure someone will post it. Before I echo what was said in the article, what type of camera have you got?

Here is my method: Equipment required: Procedure: There is an element of luck in this as sky rockets are somewhat unpredictable, even if you know in advance what they will use and their general trajectory. I listen for the soft "whump" sound when they are launched and open the shutter when I hear it. Notes . . . "B" (bulb) shutter speed: "T" (timed) shutter speed: These are based on Kodak's recommended methods, those used by others, and what has worked well for me in the past. -- John
