Going to fireworks tonight, what type of settings should I use on my dslr camera?




Chelsea Sm


So I recently got a new dslr camera, I'm wondering from experienced DSLR users, what are the best settings for fireworks..like iSO, shutter spead, lens opening, etc. I've never tried to take pictures of fireworks, so I don't want to try to go thru the Hastle of trying to change settings during the fireworks, thanks a ton!


Answer
Put your camera on a tripod.
ISO on 100, medium aperture, manual focus on infinity.

One possible method is this:

Set your shutter speed to "Bulb" and use a remote shutter release.

Take a piece of matte black fabric (like velvet) and hold it in front of the lens to keep out any stray light you don't want there. Quickly lift it away just before the actual explosion of the firework. That way you won't get trails heading upwards, but only the best part of the show. Do this either just for a single bang, or repeat the process to get several of them in the same photo.

This technique can also work for lightning, although you have to be very very quick, since lighting is a lot less predictable than fireworks.

P.S. changing settings is not a "Hastle".... it isn't even a hassle..... it's what it is all about! You should embrace the opportunity to try out new things and improve your skills.
