Fireworks from Oregon, And A How-To – abdoozy, who used the Nikon D90 and Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens for this set of stunning fireworks photos, shares a few tips on camera settings and techniques on how to shoot fireworks.

One tip I’d never read before has to do with the sound of the fireworks – abdoozy says:

I listen for the sound of the mortar firing the projectiles and open the shutter at that point; most bursts go off 2 to 3 seconds after firing. This of course will depend on how far you are from the launchpad. I like to be within about 500 yards of ground zero so I can use a “normal” zoom (in my case the 18-105 kit lens).
