Fireworks are seen at the Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple during Vesak Day, an annual celebration of Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death in Pathum Thani province, on the outskirts of Bangkok. This year marks the 2600th anniversary of Buddha's enlightenment. Using a long shutter allows the photographer to capture the fireworks and candles perfectly. Try using a long shutter at night with no flash to capture low light scenes.Sukree Sukplang
