Do You Love Fireworks? A Photography App review!

This post is going to be a little different this time.  I was graciously asked to look at a new app and provide a review. I am only happy to oblige!

One of the things we love to do when we go to Disney is watch the fireworks. We love them anywhere, but Disney knows a thing or 2 about putting on a show. One of the most frustrating things can be taking pictures of these amazing fireworks..

So let's talk about this app! The Field Guide to Fireworks Photography.

Now in our house we have 2 kinds of photographers, myself who knows how to point the camera and press the button. I love the auto setting on our DSLR! Then we have my husband who like to tinker with the camera and has taken some courses and knows what all the other settings are for. 

I really liked the app, it was simple and told me how to set up our complicated camera to take some (hopefully) nice pictures of fireworks. The guide lets you know what equipment you need and what would be good to have. Then it tells you what settings to use on your camera and things to be aware of. A quick guide to help when time is of the essence!  That being said, we missed out on an opportunity to try it out as I got the app after Canada Day so unless we get to go to Florida soon (fingers crossed) I won't see many fireworks until, maybe, Labour Day in August.

My husband has his own feedback and I'll let him add it in here:

I am a more involved photographer than my wife...though very amateur. I like the app, but thought it was too basic to provide more than just general tips on taking night shots. For my level of understanding, it was not specific nor detailed enough to provide any new insight. Recommended settings and step by step would be my advice for a more well rounded guide.

In the end I am very grateful to have been asked to take a look at this app.  It has a home on both my iPhone and iPad and will be added to my Disney folder when vacationing so I can try and get some pictures to bring home to remember all the amazing fireworks displays we will get to see!
