Digital Fireworks Photography

Flash Won't Help

SUMMARY: Flash will not help your fireworks photography.

Don't plan on using flash to illuminate the night sky when taking photos with your digital camera. Fireworks are shot a good deal away from where you will be taking pictures, thus the small light on your digital camera cannot reach the fireworks and illuminate the night sky enough to make a difference in your photos.
