Fireworks displays are the kind of spectacular event that almost demand to be photographed.
For the last few years I’ve been running around Melbourne trying to photograph every fireworks display I can find. My technique started out as conventional but then took a turn and now produces an array of bizarre images.
So how do I do it?
In this session I will take you through the basic camera technique for photographing fireworks and then I’ll explain my “weirdo” technique and the various creative possibilities it offers.
