Here in the States, we celebrate our independence every 4th of July by blowing up things in the sky.
In fact, ever since Taoist monks created fireworks, cultures around the globe have used them to ward off evil spirits, pray for happiness, celebrate birth, death, weddings, the new year… just about anything.
Consider it a basic truth of the human condition: we like things that go boom.
And for almost as long as fireworks have been around, photographers have been taking dark and blurry photos of them.
But listen up: Firecracker photography may seem difficult, but follow some simple rules and you’re virtually guaranteed good results.
