What settings should I use to take photos of fireworks?
Set your camera up ahead of time with a tripod and a remote shutter release. Use bulb mode and a wide aperture, and when the fireworks go off, open your shutter and follow the fireworks up all the way up and wait for the explosion. Once it explodes, count to 1-2, then release the shutter.
How can I photograph the moon?
Depending on what phase of the moon you're in, it's going to be very bright, so you need to use a relatively fast shutter speed to keep the exposure down.
How can I take good photographs of nature?
The most important thing about taking nature photographs is to take your camera with you everywhere you go. Also, you need to develop an eye for where the sun is, where the shadows are, and what your subject is.
