Shooting Fireworks from the air

<p>Not having an aerial photo section in these forums, I hope someone will find this question here. </p>

<p>Has anyone attempted to shoot fireworks from a plane? This shoot os over a lake, with hoped for reflections, many spectator boats and good sized but not huge fireworks. I am anticipating 800ASA, wide open with a gyro and maybe get something. I would like to hear from anyone who has tried it.</p>

<p>Your plane will jag and the firework light arches will jag with it. Only possible solution: Use a digital camera capable of 25,000 ISO and expose at 1/32 of the ISO 800 speed, but then the cascades and arches will be short and not show, no arches etc, just short lines of light. You need the firm support of a tripod and the long exposure time to make the view complete.</p>

<p>So: ditch the plane or try anyway. Good luck!</p>
