Bring out your tripods and let’s shoot fireworks after an upcoming Reds-Braves Game. The fireworks will start approximately 15 minutes after the conclusion of the game. Game time is 7:10 pm so you might want to be setup and in position by no later than 2.5 hours after the start of the game or 9:45 pm. There are park benches in General James Taylor Park, so if you get there earlier say 9 pm you might snag a place to sit else bring a folding chair.

If you are new to photographing fireworks take a look at this site:

If you are looking to expand your firework shooting technique try your hand at this technique – Spiky Fireworks (but it takes practice and with luck you’ll get 4-5 shots).
