I love the first picture! It has just the right exposure, it looks as if it's CGI. Great job!

perfect exposure control and timing! (which i find it very hard to achieve for fireworks shooting) care to share your technique/settings? the exif info on flickr seems to be inaccurate... did you use a black card?

 

[Supersimon27]

enjoy your UWA shots. keep them coming! i always envisage to get the LaSalle photo that you have but never have enough inertia to get down there to experiment.

Thanks bro seefei . See u in July outing )

Hi hellfire, I actually do a blending mode in PP . It's like doing bracketing with 2-3 photo with different exposure

hello, first time posting here. finally got some mileage on my DAL 50-200 since i bought my K-x.
some shots of long-tailed macaques at Bukit Timah nature reserve

never really tried portraits before, so any tips on how to improve would be appreciated

How should I put this to words .... Ok , 1st meter to the building for 1st photo . 2nd pic meter to the firework. The blend them together . 2 layer image . Mask out whatever u doesn't want . For full demo think got to wait for Shi fu denise (creampuff) to show u on his next lesson .

Me still waiting for his post process part 3... Wait till neck long long liao

Meter to fireworks? Considering the duration is pretty short, isn't that almost impossible to do (well, not really since you did it, but lol I wanna know)? Just curious.

i dont think need to meter the firework. just switch to bulb mode/ manual setting. open shutter when the firework start and close the shutter when firework finish. firework is bright enough for 2-4 sec of exposure. ( thats what i read from net )

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I was confused by "meter to fireworks". lol

Yeah, that's what I thought, too. I was confused by "meter to fireworks". lol

I think what simon meant was to do one exposure for the buildings (maybe 10-15s) & another for the fireworks (like you said 2-4s) & blend them in post.

Correct . That's what I do . Ard 3-4sec is the best . Anything more that that will overexpo

My bad . Actually when I mean meter to firework , I actually mean more of exposing to firework

You got it correctly . Thanks . That's what I mean
