How To Shoot Fireworks with DSLR



Hey peeps!, 

Ramadhan kembali, kini sudah masuk Ramadhan ke 11.. Pasti ramai ingin merakamkan gambar bermain bunga api.. Di sini ada beberapa tips menangkap gambar bunga api yg ingin dikongsikan bersama.



Many people do not have a clue on shooting fireworks. I was that many people until recently. Just want to share some tips with you guys on how to achieve the nice results.

Equipment requires;
1. a DSLR camera.
2. a tripod (the heavier the better)
3. Remote Release (Optional)

Other requirements;
1. Good location
2. Or good friends to book a very good location for you (I prefer this one :) )

Pre settings
1. change to manual focus mode.
2. put the lens focus to infinity
(with these two done, you will not loose time from camera searching for focus)
3. put on Manual Exposure mode.
4. with ISO 100, I recommend Shutter speed = 6-8 seconds and Aperture = F6-F8
5. mount your camera to the tripod and make sure it's steady.
6. if you know where the fireworks are going to be then, aim at that location.

Shooting
1. your ears will be your eyes. once you hear the shooting noise press the shutter release or use your remote. If you are further away then, you might need to time your shoots
2. leave your camera until it's done expose. (6-8 sec as you program it). For the first few shots you might need to re-adjust your position quickly, also quickly check the results and adjust the aperture value.
3. if there are a lot of big fireworks in the middle of your shots, you might need to use your lens cap to close the lens for awhile, the picture might turn up Over exposed.
4. again, hope for the best.

Repost | Mood Study : Night Shots #1,night shoot

Info 1 : Go into the menu and change it to landscape ( NOT THE KNOB ON TOP). This will help the cameras sensor not to be confused also change shutter and aperture. You have a built in meter that will also help to achieve perfect exposure. You are shooting in manual correct? The advice I gave was for manual. A + S + ISO = good exposure. Also try manually setting your white balance with a Grey Card. Don't set your Dial to LANDSCAPE. That is designed for daytime shooting only, and would be the very worst possible scene setting to use at night.

Info 2 : First, set your ISO to 3200. Next, set the EXPOSURE METERING option ( page 79 of your manual ) to SPOT. Then set AUTOFOCUS to MANUAL ( page 55 ) on both your D3100 and on your lens. That is because it will be doubtful that there will be enough light for the camera to autofocus properly.

Info 3 : Next, set the Command Dial to P for Programmed mode. Then zoom in on a lighted area in the night scene you are looking at that you want to expose for, placing the center of the viewfinder on this lighted area. Then press the shutter, and note what recommended exposure settings ( aperture and shutter speed ) are displayed.

Info 4 : Make a note of these two settings inside your head, and then switch the Command Dial to MANUAL mode, and manually set your shutter speed and aperture to match those recommended settings that you noted earlier. Then zoom your lens to compose the photo the way that you want to record it, and then set your focus manually.

Info 5 : Take a photo at those settings, and then review it and see how it came out. This is only a starting point, and you may well have to adjust either the aperture or shutter speed, to get a better looking exposure. And be careful that the shutter speed is not set too slow, or you may not be able to handhold the camera and still get a sharp photo. Assuming that you are using a lens with the VR optical image stabilization, I would recommend not going any slower than 1/15th second, or at the very most 1/8th second if you have already practiced holding your camera super steady.
