Photographing Fireworks & Sparklers
Fireworks or fire flowers in the sky are loved by all ages. Fireworks are fun to photograph too. For this shoot, I used ISO 5000 and a 5-second exposure time. I set my camera up on the tripod at dusk. I preset the interval timer to shoot 1 image every minute for 30 minutes (30 images total). I did a few test shots on the first few fireworks to get the manual setting I wanted, turned on the interval timer, and then kicked back and watched the show.
After the show, the hand sparkles came out. I told the kids to start creating light paintings. This is our combined work. So much fun!
Are the light pictures also made for 5 seconds?
Beautiful flowers turned out in the dark :)
@bambuka Thank you. The sparkler pictures were all taken at different settings, dropping the ISO to 100/200 because of the full moon, house lights, and how close the sparkles were to the camera. The time was between 1 and 3 seconds depending on how close the kids started in proximity to the camera.
1-3 is it real
I thought 5 might be a lot. I also like working with long exposures. Even bought a 1000 ND filter for daytime photography.
It's funny to get one or two people as a result of applying a filter and a long exposure on a crowded street on day ))
ND 1000 - wow! I had no clue that there is such a filter. I thought I was doing good with +6
On a clear sunny day, +6 will not allow using too long exposure. For example, water in a stormy river, a crowded street, waves of the surf)) I want to experiment with this
I also have HD2-400, but at 400 a black cross appears.
All the pictures in the photography were very good.
Thank you so much.
