As a matter of curiosity what set-up didyou use ? I know thats a cheeky question but I'm off to see "The Rhine in Flames" in August and I don'tparticularily want to bring my 'Pentax Photo-Kit' ~ too bulky and too valuable, its an origional Spotmatic. Any hints would be much appreciated.Brian.Conflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shito Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 hello ,Thank you for your samples, and could you produce for me 2 or 3 photos in png. format ,I would like to make some tests.In the past I used my SLR film camera to take that kind of pictures ( Not so nice shots ) nowwith Digital camera it is different.My best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 shitoI have converted 3 of the above images to .PNG as you requested, would you please check your PM messages.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi BrianThanks for the comment.No secret here! I have a Nikon 4500 digital, I simply use my tripod and set to "Fireworks" mode.This auto sets the camera for landscape - no flashOnce a couple of fireworks are set off, looking through the preview screen I get an idea as to height and set - no zoom. When I hear the (hiss) as they are lit, I click the shutter.I just keep clicking through the entire show. Out of about 60 shots I would say I end up with about 45 - 50 decent ones.On this setting "Fireworks mode" the shutter speed is slow (3-4 seconds?) long enough to capture the burst.The last outing the other evening (Canada Day) they were set off rather rapidly so it was a matter of just keep clicking the shutter. Between each shot it does take about 10 seconds to digitalize and save the image.A tripod is a definite must have.Not a photographer - just a happy clicker!

Small point & shoot Digital Cameras are simply not up to the job irrespective of their Cost andperformance claims. At the end of the day it all boils down to the Lens ~ whats new ? if it can't capture the light no amount of sophisticated Electronics will ever resolve the image !With the Pentax I would have used 2-3 secs at F8 or F16 with a 28mm WA.Lens depending on subject-distance and ASA.Film speed to suit the occassion and a good Tripod and Lens Shield to cut out foreground lighting.Thanks for putting me in the right direction and reaffirming what I had forgotten, I need a good kick in the....Brian.Conflow.

Maureen Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 We went the "the Rhein in Flames" a few years ago Brian. It is a great spectacle and I have lots of slides somewhere I took there.Unfortunately the year we went the hillside caught fire, so they couldn't float the candles & make the Rhein on flames, as the fire brigade were too busy putting out the serious fire ! You should have a great time.Loved Hawk's fireworks pictures too. Busy getting prints done here for Exhibitions & organising some Internationals for next year....Love M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I took my camera to the local display the other night and posted some on my Blog. I used a 20D, ISO 100, 24-70 lens set at 24mm, f/16, and shutter set to bulb. I used a tripod and a remote shutter release. It was too much fun! It was a spectacular display. When I'd see the firework start up in the sky, I'd click the shutter open, and hold it open until there were more fireworks to fill in the area of the sky I was aimed at, or if there was just one explosion, I would close the shutter after a few seconds. If many were being set off, I would release it sooner so explosions would not cover each other up as being overexposed. I had the camera set to take vertical shots because I wanted the light trails going up to the explosion and also to show height in the sky.
