Yes, it's that time of year again. Clocks go back, nights draw in and people start to set fire to things. It seems only right to head on out into the cold and dark and photograph what they get up to! In this article you'll learn all the tips you need to produce great images of firework displays wherever you are.
Location
I would strongly recommend attending an organised display. Not only is it safer it's also cheaper! A great organised event is going to cost you between �5 and �10 and should provide you with at least 30 minutes of photo opportunities. Spend 10 quid on a box of rockets from one of �those� shops and they aren't going to last nearly as long - you could also blow yourself up.
At a display you want to make sure you have a clear sight of the fireworks. This sounds obvious but means two things (1) turn up early so you can find out exactly where they are going to explode and (2) turn up early so that you get to the front of the crowd. Most of the action is going to be in the air but it still helps you a lot if you don't have the heads of people in front of you in the shot.
