Digital Fireworks Photography

Consider Tilting Your Camera

SUMMARY: Add variety to your fireworks photos by tilting your digital camera.

To record more of the trails left by fireworks displays, consider tiling your digital camera 90 degrees. This can add variety to your photos, especially if you happen to have landmarks or monuments in your viewfinder or LCD. Note that if you still want to use your tripod, it must come built-in with a swivel head, or you may be able to buy a swivel / tilt head adapter to support vertical format shots.
