Happy Fourth

As much fun as they are to watch, fireworks are equally as challenging to photograph. Working on the Mall gives the Smithsonian's staff photographers on-going opportunities to capture these events on film, and to test and improve their individual photographic techniques. Although their individual techniques may vary, the Smithsonian photographers all have some basic recommendations.

To check out their pointers visit the Smithsonian website.

Shutterbug also has some great information to share so you can get great shots of fireworks.Shutterbugsource
