Tips for photographing fireworks;
Equipment:
1: Camera
2: Shutter release cable or self-timer on camera
3: Tripod or a sturdy flat surface to set your camera on
Place your camera on the tripod. Attach a shutter release cable or set the camera’s
self-timer for 2-5 seconds to help eliminate camera shake.
Set your ISO to 100 or up to 200.
Adjust your cameras shutter speed anywhere from 1 second to 5 seconds, with
your aperture between F8 to F22, or lens’ smallest aperture setting.
Remember: The smaller your aperture is set, the more depth of field your
image will have. Also, keep in mind that the smaller the aperture setting, the
longer your shutter speed will be.
