great job and good easy to follow explanations
WELL EXPLAINED…
Great tips! Just one caution. Some lenses when focused all the way out go past the infinity mark on the lens. Make sure to line-up the infinity symbol for your fireworks, or use the first few burst to set your focus.
Please correct: if underexposed, "increase shutter speed" that is incorrect. You should be "decreasing" shutter speed…otherwise all in all nice video.
Using bulb you said and showed pressing and hold the shutter button with your finger, but earlier in the video you said to use a wireless or wired shutter release so you can avoid touching the shutter button. Minor issue but the remote release should be used in all situations. Thanks for the very good video lesson!
I have always thought the shutter speed only determines how much of the firework(s) you will capture–fast speeds (like .5 sec) you may only see the developing of the fireworks and slower shutter speeds (like 3-5 sec.) you will see the entire fireworks from start to finish. It's only the f-stops that determine the brightness. What say you?
