jeff_fiore 0 Posted June 17, 2004 Very nicely done. Good exposure and composition on a difficult subject. Link to comment
wakeforce 2 Posted June 18, 2004 Thanks =) I was in the process of downloading soem more but my internet crashed... It's late now so it'll have to wait a bit again! Link to comment
wakeforce 2 Posted June 21, 2004 The first of many fireworks in Montreal city! Not my best picture but still one of the good ones! Link to comment
simanta 0 Posted June 21, 2004 The fireworks (the top one) is not good, - check the exposure - I never took fireworks shot, but I guess you needed a faster shutter speed, at the cost of illumating the people seeing the fireworks, - which I think is okay. Link to comment
wakeforce 2 Posted June 21, 2004 Actually, the exposure was pretty good one that one... If you really want me to show you an overexposed shot, I can show you one! (It's simply pure white) You actually want a long shutter speed for fireworks to make them make trails in the sky (I was stopping down all the way to f/22 to get a 20second exposure sometimes, and even then it got overexposed sometimes) Thanks to have comented tough, I appreciate it!

simanta 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Really ? Pls excuse my knowledge here. As I said that I never shot fireworks so I don't really know if you should use fast shutter speed or slow. I used to think it should be fast cause otherwise the fireworks would go blur like the one at the top of this photo..But I might be wrong, and it makes sense to use long shutter speed as well (as you said) to look the fireworks like a trail. But I think there's an optimum value of the shutter speed where both are balanced. I mean, the value where the fireworks are not blurr (like the one at the top) and at the same time looks like a trail (the two works at the bottom of this photo). Am I not right ? Link to comment
wakeforce 2 Posted July 8, 2004 yeah, I agree the white one at the top could have used a faster shutter speed, but this one was really weird looking, not your ordinary firework there! Link to comment
bens 0 Posted July 17, 2004 so hard to get with the apertures of the lens you were using! if you don't have it, the 50 mm. 1.8 Canon lens is great, could help in these situations. thanks for your comment on one of my pics. Link to comment
wakeforce 2 Posted July 20, 2004 I have the 50mm f/1.8 but I mainly use apertures around f/8-f/11 when photographying fireworks, so that's why I chose this lens. It could work for handheld fireworks photography, but I don,t think it'd give a nice effect =) It was a plaeasure commenting on your picture, as I always comment and never rate anyway.

bens 0 Posted July 20, 2004 yes, i can see the need for that now, of course, cuz the bursts are across the sky, not in one place relative to the camera. thanks for pointing that out. Link to comment
johnf 0 Posted July 23, 2004 I like this. Nicely done. Take a look at my fireworks photos (2) Link to comment
jeff d 1 Posted July 23, 2004 I like having the people in this shot. It adds to the excitement. Who doesn't love fireworks! Thanks for visiting my portfolio. It is greatly appreciated. Link to comment
alexhender 0 Posted June 25, 2005 Tres belle composition ! Si je peux me permettre une astuce pour les " Long Time Exposure " Sometimes i use "B" mode or the longest exposure time available and just let the lens cover on ... so i can pull it when the firework is rising and put it back while there is no fireworks... using a tripod under calm condition as you all probably know... this way you can have like 5 or 6, maybe up to 10 fireworks(depending on others sources of light) on the same image without overexposition or Photoshop Work ... Well hope this trick helps the ones who did'nt know it if there is so ? We Fall so we can stand again even better ... J'adore ton travail et j'ai hate d'en voir davantage Link to comment
