It allows you to create times exposures based on changing conditions. 3. If possible use a remote shutter release to avoid touching camera again and again. Press the shutter as soon as the firework is launched and hold it until the burst has faded. It usually lasts for a few seconds. 4. Make sure you take pictures of the first fireworks.
