How To Take Great Photos Of Discount Fireworks

By Nancy Gardner


Whatever kind of festival it is, it will certainly bring entertainment to the people attending. Remember that festivals are meant to remember something auspicious. It is even more fun when there are discount fireworks SC. You can take photographs of the display. If you plan to take these pictures, then here are the amazing yet simple tips you can remember for that.

First, it is imperative that you bring the right equipment with you during the shot. One example would be a sturdy tripod. This is required to avoid tipping, wobbling, and sinking effects in our shots. Also, bring extra batteries. You will be taking pictures all night so long exposures will be required. You need backup batteries to cover for that.

Focus on the ISO as well. You must set the ISO to a low setting, like at 100 or 200. The low ISO setting is suitable since anything otherwise will just introduce more noise to the image. Noise is commonly found in blue areas of photos. Remember that night time pictures got lots of blue so you must eliminate that.

The camera might have a long exposure noise reduction. If this is the case, then you better turn it off. During normal photography, this setting can really do a good job with noise reduction. However, it will add extra complication that is unnecessary in firework photography. You will certainly miss the display if you do not turn this setting off.

The live view should also be considered. This is the setting in the camera which is most recommended when you are shooting videos. If using live view in shooting the display, the battery just gets drained quickly. It is better to change from the live view to normal eyecup viewfinder.

A manual mode is suitable for exposure in this kind of photography. On the other hand, the aperture must be set to f5.6 or f8. The said aperture choices are ideal for firework photography. Closing more would make the light trails become thinner. Opening more will also make the taken photographs overexposed.

The shutter speed is another setting that one should pay attention to. It is highly recommended to set the shutter speed to a range between two to ten seconds. You might want to consider doing a test shot right before a pyrotechnic show starts. This way, you can adjust the exposure according to how dark or bright it is.

The lens are necessary for your shots. It would be good for the lens to be focused already before the pyrotechnic display begins. After focusing, turn off the AF function. You must not forget to turn the said setting off if you do not want the camera to always refocus on every shot. You will just miss images and have blurry pics otherwise.

Make sure you take lots of shots at the start of the pyrotechnic show. By taking shots at the beginning, you can avoid the problems of smoke and haze appearing in your shots. These smoke and haze eventually becomes visible as more and more fireworks get displayed. These are just hindrances that makes the photos look ugly.
