OK so everyone wants to know when it comes down to the moment its time to shoot, how to photograph fireworks. Well we have put together some quick tips for all of you with short attention spans as well as those of you who need to be out the door soon to go film a fireworks display, so down to business!

  1. You will be able to get the clearest shots with a camera thats still. Be sure to get a tripod for this one.
  2. The more you touch your camera the more you have a chance at moving it around and taking a trash picture, so try to use a self timer or remote so that you can take shots hands free.
  3. Line yourself up right. You can pick a million locations, but try to get an elevated view, and keep an eye out for your horizon as well.
  4. Do your research since you will be framing with your camera so you can know where the next ones will be shot . Just be prepared and spend more time looking at the surroundings and less time look through the viewfinder.
  5. Use a midrange aperture since fireworks are pretty bright unless you are a ways away. Keep in mind to shoot in bulb mode so you can leave the shutter open as long as you need as well.
  6. Turn off your flash for crying out loud and make sure that you shoot in manual mode.
  7. Have fun otherwise you probably will take junky shots.


Samsung l74W Review

The Samsung l74W is a new breed of camera, it has some great features, while an oddness to it that makes it feel unique, but in a good way.

Some of the cool features of the Samsung L74W is a 3 inch touch sensitive panel which you can use to adjust and change settings for various shots. There is not much more to be desired for with its sensitivity settings up to ISO 1600, a World Tour Guide, 7.2 megapixel sensor, a facial detection auto focus, as well as an auto exposure.

This camera is sure to be hot stuff. While having an old school look to it from images you se here, in person it definitely has something special that you will enjoy, especially with the massive display screen that makes navigating it a whiz even for people with jumbo size fingers.
