Safety

Safety should be the number one concern

while shooting firework.

Wear clothes that do not catch fire quickly.

Always be cautious about your surroundings.

Keep your camera safe.

Do not point your lens directly towards a

source of fire when the lens is very close to

the source.

Obey local fire safety rules.

Increase ISO but make sure that too much noise does
not creep in. It is better to have a slightly underexposed
picture than have a grainy one.
Aperture should be on the higher end. F/8 or F/11
is best suited for these types of photographs. Change it
according to your needs.
Shooting raw helps a lot in post processing of the
images since photographing and correctly exposing these
photos are quite difficult. But one should not rely entirely
on RAW images and should try to do as much as they can
while shooting itself.
