Oh My Word, Laurence!!! This is INCREDIBLE!! I was so pleased to see your name under this beautiful image!! Congrats! #6557333Sachin D. Das October 16, 2008
I have no words to say how beautiful this picture is. I've been trying to shoot fire works since two years but this is magical. Shutter? aperture? white balance?Sachin #6607712
Laurence Saliba October 16, 2008
Thanks so much. Sachin I use very different exposures depending also on foreground lighting. I never exceed 5 second exposures at F11 to F16. Focusing is always manual also. never leave the camera on autofocus and always use a cable release. #6608698Sachin D. Das October 17, 2008
Thanks laurence, any particular white balance. I have tried shooting at 2seconds but it always blurs. Do you do any post correction, what software and how? It's always good to learn from a Guru.Laurence Saliba October 17, 2008
White balance usually on Auto but I always try to experiment with other settings but they all seem to have very similar reults. Post correction is minimal. I only fine tune the levels to get that perfect black even when there is some smoke. I use Photoshop usually. If you are getting a blur your tripod is not sturdy enough. Also another thing I do is use a piece of black cloth and I keep the camera covered to minimize any light entering from behind through the viewfinfder. These long exposures need a very sturdy tripod and cable release or remote.Ellen Hodges October 24, 2008
