Tips
* When shooting with a camera, adjust to M mode, focus on the spot where the fireworks will explode using AF (Auto Focus, auto focus with half shutter), then switch to MF (Manual Focus) to shoot.
* Shutter speed should be set to bulb mode (operated by release), aperture usually between F8-11, and ISO sensitivity around 100-200.
* To secure a tripod spot, you should arrive at least 3-4 hours early, so don't forget to bring a portable battery, mat, snacks, and outerwear :)
