Thanks for the info – Ive always struggled with night shots of cities etc. My wife and I are about to go on a boat trip in the Sydney harbour the coming week so I’ll make sure I take a copy of these tips – fingers crossed i can get some nice pics!!!

I took some stunning shots of fireworks over the Sydney Opera House and having that landmark in the background sure made a difference.

It amazed me how many people were taking photos without a tripod though, I reckon they were going to be pretty disappointed with the photos.

Damn!

I wish I would have read your post a couple of months ago. I’ve tried to take pictures of fireworks for the last 3 4th if Julys (with my 5 mega pixel Panasonic Lumix) and they’ve always come out blurred. I thought I had to buy some really extensive equipment to do this right.

I’ll definitely try this next year! Thanks.

Using tripod maybe useful, but sometimes in crowd it is hard to stand a tripod. However, without tripod still can make good firework pictures.

That’s very cool skill. I remember I have taken photo during river festival back in my days in Brisbane, but the photo just sucks ;(

Thanks for the tips!

HA! I wish I would’ve read this a week ago when I went to a fireworks show. All my pictures were blurry and not great quality at all. At least I know for future reference. Great post!

It's awesome! I've always wanted to try photography but it's quite an expensive hobby. May be in the future when I can afford to buy a camera for professionals.
