*How To Photograph Fireworks*
So 4th of July is coming up again (where does the year go) and that means
fireworks. Because Americans have picked the worst possible time of year to
want to launch explosives into a dark sky what with it not actually being
dark until after 9pm…
I’m going to a local fireworks show tonight and as always I hope to capture
some decent images. Here’s a cool tutorial on the basics of getting
passable fireworks photographs.๏ปฟ
With fireworks season almost upon us it pays to be prepared. This guy
breaks it down in a few neat foolproof steps – simple and to the point.
Enjoy and happy shooting!
#photography #fireworks ๏ปฟ
@judegines I have a whole crash course training video on the XSi which you
can order from my blog. I have a link at the end of the video. Thanks!
Shooting fireworks is fun. I had the opportunity recently to capture some
in Myrtle Beach.
@bens8588 Look at the Nikon D3100.. great camera for beginners. Sony is
good but I don’t like the construction of the camera … feels cheap.
i’ve sigma lens 10-20 mm wide angel ! does it will take a nice firework
shoot ? n Thanks ๐
Thanks
wow man, cool idea with the covering on Bulb mode i cant wait to experiment
with it cheers!!
@bens8588 just buy a dslr
Everyone’s experiences will be different. I use an ultra wide on f/8 to
f/11 and my results are good, bright and colorful. Not everyone has to
shoot with ultrawide, but not everyone likes telephoto either. It depends
on where you are shooting and what you want in the image.
can you do a video on flash photography? Particularly outdoors at night?
GREAT VIDEO! thx
This and all your tutorials helped allot thanks.
ุงุณุชุบูุฑ ุงููู
Going out to shoot tonight! Thanks ๐
@thomasbd1000 Thank you! I really appreciated hearing from you – it means a
lot!
Hi Michael, I will be doing some firework shoot tomorrow night for
countdown event to 2013. Currently I only have 2 EF lenses; the standard
kit lens EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS for my EOS 650D, and my EF50mm F/1.4 USM
prime lens. In the video u mentioned 15-30mm wide angle lens and smaller
aperture between F/8 – F/11 is preferred. What would u suggest if I use any
of my existing 2 lenses? I thought of buying new lens but would like to
hear from you first before plunging into another spending ๐
A lot of photographers recommend setting the focus to infinity – I’m
shooting with a D5000 and the standard 18-55mm lens and I don’t have that
option. Is there something similar?
Bulb with a cover on the lens?!?!?! ๐ You just got yourself a sub!!
Points 2, 4 and 5 are accurate. But aperture at f10?? Perhaps in some
cases, but just to point out, I put my Canon 200mm f2.0 L prime on my EOS
1D4 and set it on f10. Results were not that good. I opened it wide open at
f2 and the results were breath taking! My rig was mounted on a gimbal head
and tripod. wide angle lenses are not necessarily good unless you are up
close and personal. Otherwise a prime 200, 300 or 400 and open up the
aperture.
Just BRILLIANT!
can you make a Review of the Canon Rebel Xsi? cause i’m planning to buy
one. thank you ๐
Thanks Daniel. It’s a pity it’s drizzling here now. I doubt I’m able to
shoot tonight :S
sandisk extreme pro 95 g/ second . . any other idea?
The last tip was interesting (but sounds quite hard to master). However
this statement was a little wrong “.. Use a timer, you don’t want to shake
the camera at all when you’re doing these long exposures”… if you’re
doing a long exposure and using a tripod you shouldn’t need to worry about
camera shake from pressing the button because say you’ve got a 3-5 second
exposure, only maybe 0.1 of a second of that exposure will be effected by
you pressing the button and then the camera stops moving…
