Sparks, Fireworks and Such... Image by Vanessa Mickey of Photography on The Banks - POBX Thanks to a few photographer friends of mine, Dennis True and Vanessa Mickey, for sharing their beautiful firework images. Image by Dennis True of Dennis True Photography Looking to catch a few shots of the fireworks this New Year's! Here are a few tips to help you in your quest: Tips from Dennis True of Dennis True Photography: M mode ISO 100 f 7.1 Bulb mode *Tripod is a must. *Press to start and hold until done (usually around 3 seconds. You can set the shutter to 3 seconds if you don't have a remote. If you want longer trails use longer shutter time etc... I try to time it so I start just as a burst goes off and go through the next one following it up as in the picture above. You can see more of his work at Dennis True Photography .
