One of the hardest things is finding a good vantage point to shoot fireworks. Most displays are teeming with people who are in the way and hard to get around. The best firework shots seem to come from having access to a building with an unobstructed point of view.

Wondering how many of these are composites….fireworks have to be one of the easiest things to composite…..

Great shots guys!

I suspect these are almost all a series of well timed ‘relatively’ short shutters, stacked and blended. Its not that straight forward for the average user.Some are pushing the boundary of too synthetic for my taste, but I can appreciate the effort.

Why isn’t it an easy thing to do? Just put it down on something steady, use a slow shutter speed, and do it before the smoke from all the blown fireworks starts to ruin the sky.
