Fireworks pictures - Photographing Fireworks in Your Backyard
This article details how to take pictures of the fireworks that take place in your backyard or your neighbor's. Let us point out right now, that in virtually every paragraph of this article, we will repeat cautions about the need for extreme safety around fireworks, and the need for adults to be responsible for all backyard firework displays.
The fireworks that are launched by professionals — who, by the way, are called pyrotechnicians — are classified as Display Fireworks, and are sometimes known as "Class B" fireworks. Chances are you'll never come too close to Display Fireworks, but you may well encounter Consumer Fireworks (also known as "Class C" fireworks). These are the fireworks you can purchase at roadside stands in many parts of the country.
Consumer Fireworks Are Readily Available
According to records compiled by the American Pyrotechnics Association, only 4 states (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York) completely ban consumer fireworks. Of the other 46, 6 allow only sparklers or novelty items (Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Ohio, and Vermont). Bear in mind that within each state, local counties or cities may have more restrictive laws. We're not sure of the precise definitions of "novelties" or "safe and sane" fireworks. But we do know that no fireworks are "safe" unless they're used "sanely." We're certainly not advocating the use of fireworks that are not legal in your area.
Note: We also must point out that large explosive fireworks — so-called cherry bombs, M-80s and the like — have been outlawed by Federal Law for over thirty years. These are not fireworks. They are explosives and should not be used by individuals under any circumstances.
So, unless you're in one of the four states that completely ban consumer fireworks, and if you are going to enjoy a backyard fireworks show this 4th of July, and as long as the show is conducted by safety-conscious adults — you can take several different types of cool fireworks pictures.
Let's look at each.
Sparkler Art
Even the most restrictive states allow sparklers. These are usually thin metal rods coated with a combination of fuel, an oxidizer, and powdered metal — usually iron, steel, or aluminum — that creates the sparks, and a binder to hold all this stuff onto the rod. Sparklers produce a continuously burning trail of bright yellow or colored sparks. Since the burn time of a sparkler may be 30 seconds or more, this gives us the opportunity to do what photographers call "painting with light." This makes for some very cool fireworks pictures.
Painting with light is usually done with a flashlight or some other movable light source. In that case, unless it's pointed at the camera, the light source itself isn't usually visible; it is only used to illuminate the subject. With sparklers, the light source becomes part of the subject matter as well.
Before we get to our "How To" tips, let us interject a safety note — sparklers, while they are widely available, are among the leading causes of fireworks injuries. Perhaps that is in part because they are so widely available, that they lead the list. Typically, the danger to avoid is burns from a sparkler while it is sparkling, or from the super hot metal rod that remains after the sparkler has burned out. As Colin Bradley, the author of pyrouniverse so eloquently puts it: "I don't get why... anyone would hand their toddler a 1000-degree rod of burning hot metal in the first place. Think about it... Would you let your kid play with a stove? A clothes iron? A blowtorch? Of course not. As with any other consumer product, if someone uses it THE WRONG WAY, they'll get hurt."
Fireworks Pictures
Here are some photography tips for taking pictures of sparklers.
The camera was mounted on a tripod to keep it steady during a long exposure, and auto focus was turned off. The child is asked to stay in one place and the photographer focuses on the child before the sparkler is lit. An adult lights the sparkler, and kids, doing what they do best, start to experiment.
If the child just moves the sparkler around in front of his/her face, as in the photograph on the right, the result is not too interesting. We see the trails of the burning sparkler, but the child's face has been obliterated.
With a little direction, the child sweeps her arm to create an arc that fills more of the frame. The child is watching the sparkler, so while the sparkler illuminates her face, it is blurred because she moved her head. With more experimentation, you can create a wide variety of effects. For example, you can write your name, or another word using the sparkler as a pen. However, this requires some thought because if you just spell out your name, it will appear backwards to the camera.
How to overcome this? The hard way is to write your name in mirror form. The easier trick is to turn your back to the camera and write your name the regular way, but if you do that, make sure to hold the sparkler high over your head, so that your body does not block any of the letters.
As with all photographs of this sort, the key is experimentation and taking several photographs to see which ones work out.
Next add a second sparkler and ask the subject to twirl both. These pictures can be made using auto exposure. You can fine-tune the exposures and use manual settings if you prefer. As we've discussed, to make these fireworks pictures you need a tripod and someone to handle the sparkler.
For another great photo, the person that we see outlined by the sparkler is standing still. So they appear to be in sharp focus. The sparkler is being held by a third person who is standing behind the subject and who carefully outlines the torso. This was very precisely executed: the assistant moving the sparkler can't be seen at all. The illumination was made in a single pass, starting with the sparkler close to the ground, moving up to outline the figure and then back down the other leg to the ground. There was probably some additional burn time left on the sparker so the assistant held the sparkler close to the ground until it burned out. That would explain the very bright area we see between the subject's legs. During this entire period, the subject held their pose.
Again, safety is very important here. That's why the assistant stands behind the subject and keeps the burning sparkler well away from the subject's body. Remember, safety when taking fireworks pictures is paramount.
Photographs of Light Showers
Other types of consumer fireworks, such as those that make small pops, like bottle rockets, or slender backyard Roman Candles will probably not make interesting-looking photographs. But the type of fountain display that is fired on the ground can provide some excellent opportunities for making very interesting pictures.
Once again, these photographs can be taken using automatic exposure with the camera mounted on a tripod. Keep at least 8 to 10 feet away from the shower and use your zoom to fill the frame with the colorful eruptions.
If you like, you can use your camera's pop-up flash to toss a little light on the scene.
Firework photography is interesting to look at on its own, but they can also be used with the addition of type for party invitations, or combined with other images to make photo illustrations.
Once you collect some interesting looking images, what you can create is limited only by your imagination.
Enjoy the Fourth of July, and take some beautiful fireworks pictures. Have a safe and sane holiday.
And, let us close as we began, with safety uppermost. To help you celebrate safely this Fourth of July, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Council on Fireworks Safety offer the following safety tips:
Always read and follow label directions
Always have an adult present
Only buy from reliable fireworks sellers
Be sure to have water handy
Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks
Light only one at a time
Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks
Never give fireworks to small children
Store fireworks in a cool, dry place
Dispose of fireworks properly
Never throw fireworks at another person
Never carry fireworks in your pocket
Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Fireworks Festivals
Every country has its own string of fireworks festivals – in fact, there is not a single country that doesn't use fireworks in its celebrations of festivals and national holidays. The United Kingdom is one of those countries which use a lot more fireworks than other countries; not only does the country use fireworks in carnivals, illuminated festive shows and parades, but it has its own line of National fireworks competitions.
Guy Fawkes Night
Of course, one of the biggest fireworks nights is the Guy Fawkes Night held on November 5 every year; the significance of this festival is attributed to the fact that there was an attempt at murdering King James I with the help of gunpowder which was foiled incidentally on 5th November, 1605. This is the biggest fireworks festival celebrated in the UK – you can see lots of aerial fireworks being set off every year apart from individuals setting off indoor fireworks in their houses.
The biggest of all events for Guy Fawkes is held at East Sussex – it's called the Battle. This tradition has been happening for over three centuries and people come in different costumes and light firecrackers. Here, you would be able to find a horde of clowns, matadors, Genghis Khans and pirates all trouping together for one common purpose – fireworks. The second biggest event would have to be Sheffield, Yorkshire – ranging from sparklers and Roman Candles, all sorts of fireworks displays are entertained at this venue rightly called the Don Valley Grass Bowl. Food, stalls and bonfire are all what this event is about.
If you're in for a tar-barrel rolling contest, you should check out St. Ottery at least once. People carry heavy flaming barrels of tar and haul them through streets. The last barrel at midnight is the grand big barrel. Fireworks and bonfires are also present in this event.
Other major festivals
Halloween is also another festival that uses fireworks – Northern Ireland celebrates this festival in a more extravagant way than Guy Fawkes Night. Rockets and aerial fireworks fill the sky of Northern Ireland on Halloween. Apart from Halloween, the New Year's Eve and Christmas are much celebrated events in the country, though most fireworks displays are commercial. It's still great fun to watch Christmas crackers from the seacoast.
As is the case with most other countries, there are separate guilds across the length and breadth of the country which meet at regular intervals and involve in pyrotechnic displays. There are people across the continent that come together on a common platform – cheap fireworks ; whether it is wedding fireworks or bottle rockets, it impresses people.

Fireworks and sports celebrations
Ever since the Chinese invented fireworks, people have been acknowledging them as one of the best ways to show that they are happy. Joy and happiness are what these sparks of fire indicate. Fireworks has always been associated with important opening ceremonies of world sports events. Whether it is the Olympics, World Cup Football or any cricketing event like the Ashes tour or the Down Under tour, fireworks mark the beginning of celebrations and excitement. There is nothing like a good fireworks display to open the curtain on a world event.
Looking at the wealth of world sports bodies, one can imagine that it is not going to be some ordinary and cheap fireworks displays. You can also imagine that the displays are going to be more spectacular than any Christmas crackers or wedding fireworks you have seen. Surely the biggest sporting events in the world demand the best displays of celebration and it is a fact that people assemble at these stadiums on opening ceremonies – some of them to just witness the fireworks. In some of these sporting events, even the players become part of the celebrations. Olympics is one event where an expert archer lights the flame from a distance using a lighted arrow.
Many people choose to buy fireworks online and celebrate once their favourite star or team has won. Sometimes, you would find that before the opening ceremony, fans look for the cheapest fireworks for sale so that they can celebrate in their own locality or premises.
As you can imagine, it is not the everyday sparklers and Roman candles that you see in small festivities that are usually seen in big celebrations. People come here for something big and that is what they get. In these illuminated displays, rockets and Sierra bombs are usually just the beginning of a great display.
The iconic temples of world sports have hosted some of the greatest outdoor and indoor fireworks displays. For instance, the Oval cricketing stadium has been reported to have one of the biggest display of fireworks in the game while Madison Square Garden of New York has had the most frequent fireworks display in the world – especially because different events like basketball and wrestling matches are played there regularly.
