Fireworks PhotographyUseful Fireworks Photography Tips from the New York Institute of PhotographyThe 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays at the New York Institute of Photography. It marks the United States of America's founding, dated by the promulgation of a remarkable document the Declaration of Independence. Reading first two paragraphs reminds us that its words are just as stirring and important today as they were over 230 years ago:
For many years, what has come to be thought of as "Our Nation's Birthday" has been marked with a National Holiday in mid-summer complete with parades, picnics, cookouts, and more than any other American Holiday fireworks displays. It's worth a moment to reflect on the words we've reproduced above and not completely lose sight of the promise and responsibilities of Independence. Accounts of celebrations beginning 1777 tell us that fireworks have been a part of that celebration from that date to the present.
