Also, exposure is complicated: should you expose for, the crowd in the foreground or for the fireworks?<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you would capture both elements on a single frame, but this is easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p>I shot a fireworks show last year, and although I got decent images of the fireworks themselves and the crowd in the foreground, I didn&#8217;t manage to get the shot I wanted, with everything in it.<\/p>\n<p>However, all is not lost, as on these pages I&#8217;ll show you how to combine several separate images, of both fireworks and a foreground element, to create a single dramatic image.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1673 alignnone\" title=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/step-1-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 1\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shoot the images.<\/p>\n<p>Here, I&#8217;ve taken a shot of the crowd and several shots of individual fireworks exploding in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>A tripod is essential for all these images.<\/p>\n<p>For the fireworks, a bulb exposure from the moment of the firework being released to the moment it explodes should give you good results with a little experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>Shoot wide to make sure you get the entire burst in the frame as you can always crop later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1674 alignnone\" title=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/step-2-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 2\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re back inside in the warm with your pictures, you need to prepare them.<\/p>\n<p>First, crop the fireworks shots to get rid of any extra background.<\/p>\n<p>Next, open the Levels tool (Ctrl+L).<\/p>\n<p>Pull in the left-hand slider while holding down the Alt key to make sure that the remaining background to all the fireworks pictures is pure black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1675 alignnone\" title=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/step-3-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"tips on creating perfect fireworks - step 3\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My crowd scene is in the landscape format, so I&#8217;ve added extra \u2018sky&#8217;

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/FinalImage-JPEG.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 20:18:12","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1671"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33197,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671\/revisions\/33197"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1671"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=1671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
