These Christmas and New Year, we will have an opportunity to photograph fireworks, the only equipment needed is a good tripod to keep your camera absolutely still . If you have any doubts about whether ... need a tripod? ... enter the link above.
addition, we will help a lot if we have any idea where to launch site fireworks, in this way will we know where to point our camera.
Then, once the camera is mounted on the tripod, we must do the following:
.- Orient the camera vertically (portraiture) Level the horizon
.- .- Bring
white balance in daylight (5,200 K).
.- Set the ISO to 100
.- Be aware you need to do some tests with the zoom to achieve the correct framing.
If your camera on a Point & Shoot (small, pocket), see if the functions have a special fireworks (fireworks) otherwise approach a tree, building or tower, which are at a similar distance and then cropping to the place of fireworks. You may have some focus problems (if you have a specific function).
If your camera is a Bridge or Prosumer (larger and with more features), put it in manual, set the aperture at f: 8 (usually the most closed in these cameras) to improve the depth of field; , and set the speed in about 5 seconds, if you have manual focus, make up almost infinite (just before stop). Obviously at the start of the exhibition will refine the focus slightly, after looking at result. If the photo comes out very clear (overexposed) or too dark (under exposed), lower or raise, respectively, the shutter speed two by two seconds.
If your camera is an SLR (interchangeable lenses), set the aperture at f: 11 and the speed at 10 seconds, then the above applies to the bridge cameras.
This could be a source of frustration, because the approach has its difficulties, but with a good starting point, the final tune is faster.
To shoot camera, use the timer (timer), 2 seconds, so the camera will begin taking the photo when the movement and vibration (the result of pressing the shutter) have ceased.
Examples of fireworks footage, acquired on 4 July this year when I was in Frisco, Colorado. This display made on a large dam lake Dillon and ran from the club, I thus knew where to point the camera, got ready and then I made the necessary adjustments on the fly, the results are as follows (please Click on the photos):
15 seconds, f 11, ISO 100
10 seconds, f 11, ISO 100
10 seconds, f 11, ISO 100
10 seconds, f 11, ISO 100
10 sec, f 11, ISO 100
I hope you liked, and this helps, I say goodbye until the next post ... Merry Christmas!
