If you're planning to spend a night on the town where fireworks will light up the sky, taking a picture is likely on the horizon. So how do you get the best ...

The closer you get to the fireworks, the more likely you’re going to have to deal with a slower lens with less light control, and the results mightn’t be as sharp. If you’ve ever wondered how a selfie stick works to fire a photo, they use the volume system on your device to work, whether they plug in using a cord or are set up wirelessly using a Bluetooth. In theory, the technology gets you closer to a subject. Furthermore, closer lenses are often more difficult to control, as you’ll have a closer scene, but that mightn’t actually give you the most control, making it harder to nail a composition.

However, if the shot is coming out too dark and you’re getting more blur than you’d like, consider turning yourself into a human tripod to get some of the sharpness back. It’s a technique photographers have been using since the days of the single-lens reflex — cameras with a lens — and still useful in parts today. Lean against that fixture in the earth and you’ll have a little more stability than you otherwise would without. But be sure to set the shot up, either in person or in your mind.
