Do a search around the forum, there is another discussion at the canon thread. Basically, you need:
1) Wide angle lens
2) Tripod
3) Bulb mode or timer mode
Settings:
Aperture: f8-11
Shutter: Depending on your preference. Can range from 0.5s to 2s
ISO: 100 or the lowest
you wanna try?
Here are some shots taken some time back with the different shutter speed used.
See the difference?
sorry...not a pro...cannot tell the differences at all...maybe you can explain...so everyone can learn from you...can help us newbie...
A question, as the range of shutter speed as mentioned earlier (0.5s to 6s) is rather wide and that the aperture is fixed, won't you get different exposures? What I'm trying to say is, won't the background be overexposed at say 6 seconds when 2 secs at f11 is the correct exposure?
NOt sure i phrased my questions clearly enough...
With smaller aperture, you need longer exposure. The trails are finer. However, if they shoot too many fireworks altogether, you can get 1 big blur. That is why I really hate the final climax.
Here is one shot of mine taken during SFF06. Shot with F14, 6 secs. Anyway, I count manually...one thousand....two thousand....
can only use manual focus tune to infinity?
