We made our move from by the bonfire to a good viewing spot for the fireworks while the bonfire was still in full swing. As most of the action with fireworks takes place above ground, it's less important to get right to the front, and in fact I didn't want to get too close or I might not have been in a position to capture the big aerial shells exploding. The camera got a fresh set of batteries and I put on my Sigma 10-20mm lens, set the aperture to f22, set the camera's sensitivity to ISO 200 (the lowest my camera will go), turned down the contrast control, put the camera in bulb mode, and with my cable release attached, I was all ready to go when the fireworks started. I also turned off the noise reduction function, which locks the camera up for a time equal to the time the exposure takes. As a result, I've got a few "hot pixels" in my shots, but at least I could keep pressing the button and something happened! I can always edit out the "hot pixels" later. I thought about putting a few favourites at the top of this page, but I couldn't decide which ones were my favourites, so I've just presented them in the order I took them. |
