Hi all brother & sister I'm a newbe 1 2 take some photo of the NDP firework can anyone share what is the best ISO,speed & aperture to use ? Thanks in adv
here is an advice.
firstly look and what lens you are going to use?
my guess is kit lens
then go for F22, iso 100, timing above 20secs.
timing is really up your creativity,
using bulb, you still to have a time more then 15sec(not easy to count and watch the fireworks at same time)
set 20secs or best set 30secs, result may vary with different lens.
what you need to worry is if you are sitthing in the stands, is your lens wide enough, from what i have seen, the height range this year is quite big.
good luck and happy shooting.
Depends on what effects u want to achieve. For me personally i use ISO100, f/11 onwards and expose around 4 - 8 secs. Smaller apertures give u a slicker fireworks trail while larger ones are thicker.
OK. Noted thanks alot brother Will note down all advice:thumbsup: Many thanks to all
There is no best fixed settings.
Before the fireworks start, try some test shots
- 2 sec exposure ( for short burst fireworks )
- between 3 to 10 ( for longer burst fireworks )
and check which aperture value give a better ambient exposure
Recommended setup settings:
- lowest ISO
- Aperture , f8 or smaller ( get from above testing )
- Use Bulb mode for Shutter Speed , manually control depend on the burst type
- Tripod
- Release Cable
- Lens hood (optional)
- Hot-shoe Spirit Level (good to have as unable to see the horizon during night time)
every year ard dis time, dis kinda post will be appearing again. haha.
