I am by no means a firework photographer. I never even considered capturing fireworks until last fall when I went to the Photomagic 2013 event. I didn’t do so well during that trip but I did pick up on a few tips from the other photographers. I also purchased a digital remote shutter release for my camera prior to this trip and it has made a big difference in what I can do for night photography. I’m still learning and probably knowing the show sequence would yield better results but here is another from a beginner…
