like u said, everyone has their own preference...
i usually use abt f11 though.
If camera setting is allowed, try go to smaller apreture ex. f/11 ..and use wide angle len 28mm to include backgroud feature much better.Klose said:I know everyone who shoot's fireworks has their own preference, however I will be shooting my first fireworks on my slr tmr night and I need to double check whether my settings are 'correct'
Fuji Superia 100, 50mm lens, 6 sec exposure @ f/8

3 sec is exposure time dude! hehe...chercm said:how to get the 3sec ?
Agreed....willyfoo said:Aperature controls the thickness of each trail and that probably also depends on how far away you stand away from the fireworks.. the closer you are, the smaller aperture you'd have to use.
The Shutter speed controls how much fireworks to capture. Generally you'd want to capture the whole sequence from ground to burst completion. Then make sure the shutter speed is long enough to capture the burst completion.
You might want to use the black card technique to fully control which bursts to capture..
