pop Posted December 30, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted December 30, 2017 Use a tripod or a comparable support for your camera. The visual effects of fireworks are created by moving projectiles. Use fairly long exposure times so that the traces drawn by the projectiles become visible. Fireworks experts prefer the environment being visible as well and not only the firework itself; it shows the mastery of the fireworking craft to better advantage, they claim. This picture has been taken with a D-Lux 3, 100 ISO, 2 seconds. It demonstrates, I believe, some of the more important do's and dont's.

pop Posted December 30, 2017 Share #4 Â Posted December 30, 2017 Infinity, as the fireworks are quite far away. f 1/4.0 (as open as it would go). As you can see, it's too dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted December 30, 2017 Share #5 Â Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) When young, I was impressed when a local kid shot fireworks using a folding camera and bulb flash more-or-less working by the book. The flash of course was unnecessary, ineffective but the shutter speed was just right to catch the blooms. Looking at my old stuff, M sync was 1/25 or 1/50th.
