Re: Paignton Fireworks

Excellent images John.

Would you be so kind as to divulge the settings you used?

Re: Paignton Fireworks

Thanks John and I'm only too happy to divulge the settings

A litle bit of experimentation is always worthwhile and my first few shots were at 5 secs but settled on either 8 or 10
All at f14 and ISO 100.
Manual focus.
Tripod mounted, of course, but as my remote shutter release wouldn't work (probably flat battery) I had to use the camera button which isn't ideal as it can introduce shake and probably did for some of the shots.

Camera was a 7D with a EF-S 15-85 at a distance of 1041 metres.

Cheers,
John

I like 3, 6 & 7 a lot.

If you want to take some more the British Fireworks Championships are on in Plymouth this week.

Ooooh, aaaaah....

Rather excellent... I particularly like the 1st one - with the launch trail rising from the boat the whole thing looks like a giant flower...
