Thank you for the video. Could you help with some focusing tips to ensure sharp fireworks pictures. Is it a good idea to set focus on some subject almost near to the area where fireworks would occur and change the focusing mode to manual to lock it. I'm not confident on going to manual mode and focus to infinity by the lens marking. By the way, I' m using Nikon D7500 + Nikon 16-80mm. Thanks in advance.

[@CharlesNPhotography]

Yes, definitely, and that is what I do. I set my focus point and then turn off auto-focus
