Fireworks

You should make time exposures. With the support of a tripod, hold the shutter open several seconds or longer to catch several bursts. With time exposures, the streaking fireworks will become great aerial blooms as they etch paths of light across the film. The medium apertures, such as f/5.6 and f/8, will render thicker streaks with colors not quite so intense. The small apertures, such as f/16 and f/22, used for high-speed films, will reproduce bursts as thin radiating streaks with intense colors.
