Foreground and Background 

Zoom in and choose a large aperture setting for sharper foregrounds and blurred backgrounds. This setting is appropriate for portrait photos. Zooming out and choosing a small aperture results in an equal focus on the background and foreground.

Shooting Fireworks  

Snap up those beautiful fireworks using a digital camera with a shutter speed longer than ½ a second. Ideally, opt for a shutter speed between 2 to 10 seconds to capture all the sparkle and razzmatazz. You will also need a tripod to avoid jerky, haphazard photos. Eliminate even the slightest possibility of vibration by using a camera that comes equipped with a remote shutter release. Set ISO to the lowest setting to reduce noise- the tiny dots across such snaps. Enable long exposure noise reduction, if the camera comes with it . Preview the shots on the LCD screen, and accordingly adjust the aperture so that it’s just the right size to get bright sharp photos. Keep spare batteries with you.
