Wide, up close, up high, down low. Occasionally getting shots of the people watching can also create an affective fireworks video.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-settings-to-video-fireworks#post-48743 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 17:04:22 +0000 BobM 48743@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Canon XH A1s and I am going to try to shoot some fireworks tonight.  What is the best way to do it?</p>
