Darren Rowse of DPS fame tells us the ins and outs of taking spectacular fireworks display pics. Here’s the rundown:
- Tripod–use it!
- Remote release–get one!
- Framing your shot–do it!
- Focal length–wider is generally better!
- Aperture–think small range!
- Shutter speed–bulb mode is best if you got it!
- ISO–low!
- Flash–forgettaboutit!
- Manual mode–take charge!
- Experiment–and keep track of the outcome!
To make Darren’s suggestions actually make sense, visit this page on DPS.
Any Happy 4th to all my fellow Yanks!
