Fireworks with an SX50
Jul 19, 2014 10:31:56 #
When I usually shoot fireworks on July 4th I use one of my DSLRs and shoot on manual. This year I decided to see how my SX50, set on scene-fireworks would do. It was mounted on a light weight, Manfrotto tripod and I used a Vello remote trigger release so that I could watch the show more easily. The camera selected ISO 80, 2 seconds at f8 for all of the shots.

The unit capture more or less true colors which is great. So many are washed out. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sarge. I shot 96 frames that night of which 66 were useable. The SX50 is a fun camera to use for many situations but I still prefer my D300s when getting the picture is really important.

Nice shots!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I'm looking for a remote to get some humming birds. Is the Vello a wireless remote? I've searched on Ebay, and there's quite a bit of different models and prices.

Vello is wireless and will trigger from 150'. They are inexpensive and work great.

The unit that I have is a radio remote comprised of a trigger that attaches via a custom cord to the wired shutter release port of many cameras via special cables and a remote sending unit that has worked for up to 100 feet for me. You order the basic unit and then order the cable that fits your camera. I got mine from BH.

Surprised as much as delighted. I had used the camera for birding some but never knew what it could do with this type of shot and letting the camera select all the settings.

rimcon, I think you and I are from the same school. A good shot involves 90% of what is going on with the person behind the camera and 10% of what is going on because of the equipment.
