Yeehaw! It’s a Firework Photography Roundup

History Fact: Shortly after signing the Declaration of Independence Benjamin Franklin invented fireproof pants. He knew … Freedom = Fireworks.

Before tomorrow night’s celebrations of freedom sparkle across the sky, brush up on your firework photo taking skills.

Or, if you dislike following rules as much as you dislike tea taxes, exercise creative freedom with these twists on firework photography.

Shoot a video completely out of focus. Stanislas Giroux did, and it’s so dreamy.
Make your firework photos look like sea creature pix with a simple focusing trick á la David Johnson.
Or, simply film your fireworks then reverse the video like Julian Tay.

Now, grab your camera, go out, and make ol’ Ben proud.
