Fireworks

By admin • July 2nd, 2010

With the 4th of July just around the corner, here are some quick tips to get the shot:

  • First, you must use a tripod.  Shooting fireworks will require a longer exposure, so a tripod is a necessary requirement.
  • Next, set your aperture to f11, as you want a fair amount of detail due to the distance between you and the fireworks.
  • You should set your camera to manual mode.
  • Start with a shutter speed of about 3 seconds.  Check your display screen after taking a shot.  Adjust your shutter speed based on what you see.  If it is too bright, increase the time to maybe 3.5 seconds.  If you camera has bulb mode, use a remote and then you can adjust the exposure based on your own preference.

Enjoy and have a safe 4th of July weekend.
