Mike Martin Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It is that time of the year. A tripod is an essential item for fireworks photography. Once you have that the rest isn't too hard, you just need to be a little lucky with your timing. I use a remote trigger but a timer could also work. The first photo below was taken with an 85mm lens, 9 seconds, f/11 ISO100. Generally my settings are right around these.

Mike Martin Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 A few from last night. My favorite is probably the first one with the crescent moon setting the background.

KenElevenShadows Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Those look great, Mike. I think stopping down helped them greatly, not having too much glow.

Doerfler Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 what I find unique to me about these excellent photos are the inclusion of trees in the shots. I have only witnessed fireworks in cities (I don't get out much). Buildings, yes. Trees, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
