Shutter release cablethheng71 said:Aperature F8(Depend on ur cam), Shutter 2 ~ 3sec

not really... I think cable release is still the way to go... remote is a bit laggie... last time I did it with a remote and ended up using the cam body's shutter release instead...thheng71 said:Best if with remote!!

Mr.Lee said:The narrow opening of f11 compared to f2 is to increase depth of field in the image.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

This is taken with F11 11S ISO 200 with black card
Bulb Mode
Tripod
F11 - F14
Black Card
ISO 100-200
Normally the max you can take for a firework is 5sec (F11-14 ISO200)... but with 5sec there isnt much background effect so you need to use a black card
what i did was open the shutter for a few sec and capture the bg and use a black card to cover my lens ... then when the firework start to "boom" remove the card and count 4-5sec ... close shutter
