Just thought I would chime in on a different technique that I used. In this case this was quite difficult because I was laying on the side of a pitching boat and had no tripod (not that it would have mattered). This was shot with a Nikon D-80 at ISO 1600, F5.3, and held open for 1/200 of a second. The nice effect out of this was that the explosions had very minimal streaking.

Thanks for the great tips. I followed most of them and by playing around and shooting about 200 shots, I got some nice shots that night. I wish I had remembered to zoom in more, but that is what learning is all about.

Thanks

Thanks for the fireworks instructions. I also asked last week mixed in with the Italian photos. I did also as mentioned by others that commented - had trouble in the past with the focus and ISO. If you have time for any updates it would be most appreicated.

Happy 4th!
Thanks so much!

Can’t wait to try these settings out tomorrow night. My last foray into fireworks didn’t work out so well, so I’m grateful for your post!
