tips for shooting fireworks?

[emanresu]

July 4th is coming, and I am hoping to capture some fireworks this year.  I could swear one time I read an article written by Bob on how to shoot fireworks, but now I just cannot find it.  Any quick tips?  Is it similar to capturing lightning but only safer and drier?  Thanks.

Just type "fieworks" into the search box on any page here and #1 on the list will be:

The best way to find anything here is via the site search engine. I use it myself when I can't remember where I put an article!

what a pity! our town is low on budget, therefore no fireworks this independence day!
