I'm going to a fireworks display tonight

Hi set the camera up om the tripod and point it + focus in the genral direction. Put the camera on bulb and use remote release and place a black card in front of the len's the when a fire work say a rocket goes off lift the card the replace it do the same for the next one. you should get explosions all over the photograph. keep the shutter open for as long as the display last or until you have enough fireworks on the photograph

let me know how they turn out

say f11 at ISO 100 ????

Regards mark
 
thanks, i was considering doing that, but its at the local scouts, and im not sure a tripod is going to be welcome.

So I'm gonna have to go handheld, so i'm thinking ISO 200, 1/40 ss, and the the brightness of the fireworks should show up.
 
I doubt the scout would mind you using a tripod.

Last year Justdave, eosjohn and myself all went to the Red Bank Scouts fireworks display with tripods and had no problems at all, in fact they have asked us back this year to take a few shots for them.

Well I guess its partly because you look a bit of a tool with a tri-pod, I'd get rather self conscious using one, it's bad enough using a long lens camera.

ok just got back.

didn't take anything other than a few with my dads compact because it was tipping it down and I didn't wanna get my lens soaked.
 
I was gonna say, take you're Mac book and shoot tethered, but if the camera didn't get out the bag, the apple had no chance..

Love Is....keeping you're Mac dry
