digital-photography-school.com — I?ve had many emails from readers asking how to photograph fireworks, quite a few of whom have expressed concern that they might just be too hard to really photograph. My response is always the same - ?give it a go - you might be surprised at what you end up with?.

A simple device called a light meter would make all of this very easy. Lightmeters are often installed on most cameras nowadays... though they suck.For true photographers, a spot meter will work the best. Look all this up on google, follow instructions that come with the meter and you'll have very good pictures.

Anyone else find it funny we're celebrating Independence day in a time when we have the least freedom?

Also, for pictures that turn out well, it's a good idea to make sure that you have something besides the fireworks in your image - just fireworks by themselves give you no sense of scale. I usually tilt down a bit to get some people/crowds in the foreground, which works well.

Good. I've never thought it would be so simple.
