My fireworks recipe
Jun. 27th, 2009 11:40 pmISO 100, f/11, bulb setting, on a tripod, manual focus. Probably portrait orientation, though it depends on how the show is set up.
New camera=win (not constantly waiting for the memory card to catch up and missing shots), new tripod=win (adjusts without hassle, does what I want without binding or bugging me).

A couple of black belts from TKD were nearby, so we did a little impromptu portrait. Not enough time to really do it right since after a while they wanted to actually watch the fireworks. For this I used the same f/10 and bulb to catch decent fireworks, but I used first-curtain flash. I tried without flash but the ambient was from overhead streetlights and it made them into raccoons.
