advice for bonfire night

[gumbo-67]

hi all,

i am going to a fireworks display tomorrow night and i would like some advice on settings ect for getting some nice photo's of the people ect. not really interested in the fireworks. there will a fun fair there but no fire.

i have ps3 and have never shot in raw before should i? and would i need a convertor? also if i did would i need to do alot of pp afterwards aas i am very limited in how to do it.

thank you so much in advance

Terri

Hi Gumbo - might be worth the trip even in the rain!!

I am going to shoot a display on Sat and its my first time too, the advice I was given was around framing my shot carefully, making sure I was upwind or head on to the display of the smoke drift may interfere with the shots.

I was planning tripod, long exposure (bulb), bit of black card in between bursts and remote release.

The results will either be great or terrible but I am looking forward to it anyway!!!

Can't help with the processing I'm afraid, I use raw and import into Adobe Lightroom which seems to handle it fine.
