Firework - Night photography

Fireworks photography is done with long exposures, I used AV mode for these photos, giving more priority to Aperture I was able to obtain this magical view.

Since fireworks are continuous light source, with long time exposure the light was blurred and I had a patch of light in my camera. So i tried with Aperture priority, Keeping a control on the amount of light source that would come in my camera and allowing the camera to control the shutter speed.




Another challenge in fireworks photography was when to start the clicking, Is it right when the crackers start or during the peak burst, I found that when we actually click a few seconds from when the firework bursts, we will be able to capture the magic, when we click during the peak burst then we actually miss the time as it happens in a fraction of time
