I thought I&#8217;d share a few tips that will help you get better fireworks photos.<\/p>\n<p>First, a shameless plug:\u00a0 Want to learn more about photography?<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/index.php#local\">CHECK OUT MY UPCOMING CLASSES! \ud83d\ude09<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, about fireworks photography&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The two most important rules are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Be safe<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are working with your own fireworks, safety is of utmost importance. You sure don&#8217;t want to spend your evening in the emergency room, or watching a firetruck putting out the fire on your roof. \u00a0I am sure you know this already. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have fun<\/strong><br \/>\nPhotographing fireworks is a lot of fun. I just had to list this as the #2 important rule because safety simply has to come first!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Do I Need to State the Obvious? Well, maybe. \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure your <strong>memory card has plenty of room<\/strong> for the photographs you are going to take, and make sure your <strong>battery is fully charged<\/strong>. \u00a0The last thing you want to have to mess with is fumbling around in the dark in your camera bag for a spare battery or memory card once the fireworks show is under way! \u00a0You DO have a spare battery and memory card, don&#8217;t you?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h3>Think About Placement Ahead of Time<\/h3>\n<p>When you are going to photograph a fireworks show, think about the location you are choosing for doing the photography.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">Think about where the fireworks will go off<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">What\u2019s framing your photos?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">Pay attention to any distracting lights (streetlight?) that might be in the photos once nightfall arrives<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">Pay attention to distractions along the horizon<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s2\">Think about how horizontal \/ vertical oriented shots will look at that location<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Remember, shooting into an Eastern sky will generally be darker than shooting into a Western sky since fireworks shows typically start right after sunset.<\/li>\n<li>Once you have lots of people there to watch the show, will there be people in front of you possibly blocking your view?<\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s2\">Which way is the wind blowing? \u00a0For example will the wind blow the fireworks smoke toward you? \u00a0If so, that means you will be photographing through the smoke! \u00a0Think about that when setting up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>The first fireworks have less smoke, but it might become more of an issue the longer the fireworks show goes on, and depending on your vantage point and wind speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Use a Tripod<\/h3>\n<p>You simply must use a tripod when photographing fireworks! <strong>Use a good stable tripod<\/strong> that is not at all wobbly, and make sure you <strong>do not touch or bump the tripod<\/strong> while you are photographing. \u00a0If you do, there will be a wobble in the fireworks streaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">You might be enjoying the music of John Philip Sousa, but whatever you do, <strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong> start tapping your feet on the leg of the tripod while listening to &#8220;The Stars and Stripes Forever&#8221; as you photograph the fireworks!! \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you happen to be shooting from a wooden deck, be careful!! If your tripod is on a wooden deck, every little vibration will get transferred to the tripod, then to the camera, and it will cause little &#8220;wiggles&#8221; in the streaking lights in the photos.<\/p>\n<h3>A Flashlight Comes in Handy<\/h3>\n<p>Having a small flashlight or even the flashlight on a smart phone can be really handy so you can see the buttons on your camera.<\/p>\n<h3>Camera Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Most fireworks photography involves using time exposures with your camera mounted on a tripod. \u00a0Here are the general settings you can use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tripod:<\/strong> Like I said above, make sure the camera is on a tripod!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure Mode:<\/strong> Use Manual Exposure Mode<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus:<\/strong> Switch the lens to Manual Focus and focus the lens on infinity (and double-check this often, because it is easy to bump your lens focus ring and get the shot out of focus). Auto focus simply will NOT work for fireworks photography!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens Focal Length:<\/strong> \u00a0I find most of my shots are in the 24mm to 100mm focal length range (on a full frame sensor camera).\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a camera with a smaller sensor, for example an APS-C sensor, take into account your sensor&#8217;s &#8220;crop factor&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t know what any of that means, just shoot more wider-angle shots, and judge how much you zoom in based on the shots you are getting. \u00a0Try some telephoto (&#8220;zoomed in&#8221;) shots also!<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you take into account leaving enough room for high-rising fireworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> Stick with your lowest ISO settings like 100 or 200<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aperture: \u00a0<\/strong>I have found most fireworks photos work well with an Aperture value set to between f\/8 and f\/22.\n<ul>\n<li>The more you open the aperture (lower f\/number) the brighter the fireworks are<\/li>\n<li>The more you close down the aperture (higher f\/number) the darker and richer the colors are in the fireworks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shutter Speed: \u00a0<\/strong>Usually 2.5 &#8211; 20 seconds is fine\n<ul>\n<li>Or you could use Bulb Mode to indefinitely open the shutter while the shutter released button is pressed. \u00a0I tend to prefer just picking a shutter speed.<\/li>\n<li>What is different from normal photography is how the shutter speed affects the fireworks photographs. \u00a0Normally, if you open the shutter for longer times, the image gets brighter. \u00a0It is different when you are photographing moving streaks of light.\n<ul>\n<li>Slower shutter speeds cause the streaks of light to be longer<\/li>\n<li>Faster shutter speeds cause the streaks of light to be shorter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triggering the Shutter:<\/strong> \u00a0Exercise caution in causing any wobble from pressing the shutter release button because that wobble will be recorded in the photograph as the streaks of light will be wiggled. \u00a0You can avoid this by:\n<ul>\n<li>Use a remote shutter release (wireless or wired), OR you can<\/li>\n<li>Set the camera shutter on a 2 second delay. That way you can press the shutter release button and then take your hands OFF the camera until it has finished taking the photograph.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long Exposure Noise Reduction:<\/strong> Your camera has a feature called Long Exposure Noise Reduction. \u00a0While it IS useful for reducing digital &#8220;noise&#8221; (graininess) in longer exposure shots, it can be a bit frustrating when photographing fireworks. \u00a0The camera will do its long exposure noise reduction process in proportion to the length of time of the photograph. So, if you take a 20 second photograph, once the exposure is complete, it will take another 20 seconds to do the noise reduction. \u00a0That means your camera is busy doing image processing and is not available to take another photograph until it is done. Since fireworks shows only last for a short period of time, you might consider turning off the Long Exposure Noise Reduction and just apply noise reduction on your computer (for example in Adobe Lightroom).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay attention to the results you are getting and make adjustments as needed!<\/strong> \u00a0If the photos are too bright, close down the aperture (higher f\/number). \u00a0If you want the streaks of light to be longer, shift to slower shutter speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Note how changing the aperture value changes the brightness of the fireworks, but the lengths of the streaks of light are about the same because the shutter speeds are the same:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1030\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/aperture.jpg\" alt=\"fireworks photography\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/aperture.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/aperture-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/aperture-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Note how changing the shutter speed changes the lengths of the streaks of light:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1031\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterspeed.jpg\" alt=\"fireworks photography\" width=\"800\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterspeed.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterspeed-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/shutterspeed-768x491.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1029\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KG20120704_055.jpg\" alt=\"fireworks photography\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KG20120704_055.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KG20120704_055-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KG20120704_055-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KG20120704_055-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>One more fun thing you can try is Light Painting!<\/h3>\n<p>With your camera on a tripod and the shutter speed set to 30 seconds, go out in front of the camera and swirl around sparklers and play with &#8220;light painting.&#8221; \u00a0It is so much fun!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1033\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/lightpainting.jpg\" alt=\"fireworks light painting\" width=\"800\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/lightpainting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/lightpainting-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kgphotoworkshops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/lightpainting-768x638.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, go out there and have fun! \u00a0And remember, BE SAFE!<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Gourley<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Kevin Gourley Photography, Austin, TX<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey gang! \u00a0I love photographing fireworks!
