How to Photograph Fireworks

Capturing fireworks on camera is a challenge that can be mastered easily with the right equipment and settings on your camera. Here is a short tutorial to help you capture the rockets' red glare this Fourth of July at Konkel Park.

Equipment needed:

• Camera: Either point-and-shoot or an SLR.
• Tripod: To keep the camera steady and prevent motion blur.
• Flashlight:  To see the camera settings in the dark.
• Wireless Trigger: Not necessary but it helps to prevent camera shake.
