Fireworks explosion
Jul 5, 2018 20:06:27 #
So, this year, rather than focus on the expanded view of the fireworks that we all enjoy, I wanted to focus on capturing the explosion of the mortar and before the firework expands. I used my Canon 6d Mark II, 24-105, on a tripod with settings of f14, ISO200, ND2 filter, shutter in bulb mode so I controlled the shutter speed. PP done in LR 6.14.

Nice shots. I see you had the same trouble with the centers being blown out. This was my first time shooting them. I was at 3"2 shutter speed at first and dropped down to 2"5 it seemed to help the centers.

Thanks for looking and commenting! My shutters speed was probably anywhere from a half second to 3 or 4 seconds. I shot a total of about 70 shots total. I'd love to catch one of those centers just at the moment of explosion. Not sure you'll ever get one that's not blown out. Maybe someone on here does have one and if they do, feel free to post!
