Happy 4th of July! These fireworks were shot last month on the beach in Surfer’s Paradise just south of Brisbane, Australia. There was a 3 day weekend and they were celebrating with fireworks shows. Oh yeah, and an ABBA tribute band… uughh.

Shooting fireworks is relatively simple. Definitely use a tripod and look at the LCD images until you get the right exposure. The EXIF data on the images showed a 3 second exposure at f/14 with an ISO200 setting. I would pop the shutter as soon as I heard or saw the rocket take off.
