You are welcome got plenty to do with it just around the corner. We have the city show on the 3rd and one of the big ranchers show on the 4th makes it real easy. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I watched that link............good info there, but I have a different dilemma. My son wants me to take a bunch of photos of the mortars going out of the tubes and the "fire" that comes out of the tubes. I don't know what setting would be best for that. My situation might be a little easier than some because as a member of the crew that is putting the show on, I can get within 20 feet of the "action" and don't have the distance to contend with. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Never been in that position. I would start with the settings as in the video check the results of the exposure and proceed from there. Good luck I'd be interested in seeing your results. :thumbup: :thumbup:

If you're that close, you will here a loud "click" or "snap" followed very shortly by the "whoop" of the shell leaving the tube. With your camera on a tripod, expose for 3-5 seconds at the first sound. Don't try to wait for the "whoop" or you'll miss the shot. I have seen arrays where the launchers have green, yellow and red LEDs on the base (safety devices); shoot on yellow.
