It’s again time to get drunk and watch explosions in the sky as we honor our country’s independence…. and with with this always comes tons of questions from friends and readers on tips for shooting fireworks.

I think that list should satisfy just about all the fireworks photography education anyone can absorb in one sitting, but I’ll leave you with the most important tip of all… Educate yourself on the methods and best practices, but don’t follow along like a lemming, put a little bit of your own creativity into your shots, and when you load them up Sunday morning, your happiness with your orignal shots will help ease your 5th of July hangover. Until next time…
