Hi
I'm thinking of shooting the NDP fireworks using the Pentax istDL.
The ones I tried to take ath National Stadium NDP rehearsal was much less than ideal with blurred images for all shots.
I noticed there is a fireworks/night mode. Is this the best setting to use or do you have recommended personal settings instead?
I've always assumed for night shots, set ISO to as high as possible (800-1600), open up the aperture to F2.8 or better but I have since other sampe shots using F8 or F11 with 2-4 second exposure. I wonder how these manage to catch the fireworks properly since they normal blow up in 1-2 seconds.
Any advice is appreciated.
