Taking Pictures of Fireworks: Some Tips & Tricks
Earlier this week we featured some beautiful pictures by photographer Eric Kim. We asked him if he had any tips or tricks for capturing those beautiful explosions in the sky that we could share with you. Here are his tips for capturing fireworks on film:
If you have a point and shoot:
- Use the "fireworks" setting in your camera if you have it to get sharp photos of fireworks.
- If not, try to lower your exposure by -1 or -2, while raising your ISO to 800 or above for a faster shutter speed.
- Try using a tripod to have steadier shots. If your camera is on a tripod, you can get cool light-trails by lowering your shutter speed which is achieved by lowering the ISO to about 100-200.
