Happy 4th of July!

Tips for shooting fireworks. Get set early so you get a good spot. Bring a tripod. Get your exposure all set up so you can get the shot at the beginning of the fireworks display so smoke and darkness are not an issue. Set your aperture to between f/8 and f/11 to keep the entire image sharp. Water reflecting the city and fireworks is also a plus to give the photo a little more interest.
