good techniques theyre very helpful. the videos is also goog but i think your sound of the microphone sounds very bad.
Thank you Tony for the info.
after watching all of these how to photograph fire works… they all are not good..nothing works in these setting..
This was very very basic and not something I would expect from Tony. But then this might be only a free ticket to get to book as isn’t it that there is no such thing as free lunch?
Side note: Don’t regret and don’t use a hat with holes on top, as shown by Tony! You’ll regret it later!!! 0:58
what would be 0"3 on a nikon for the shutter speed?
or using BULB MODE on your camera. hold down the shutter as long as you want. this is useless video.
Interesting method. I’ll have to give it a whirl.
Go Irish….I like Notre Dame as well. Also, in your tutorial about photographing car shows, you’re wearing a Texas hat. I had a cousin who played ball there in the 80s.
Any new tips for 2018? 🙂
Nice share…Thank you
Why not put in bulb at F8 and hold it down for the duration of a firework?
Hey, Tony what if I want to include the scenery with the fireworks and not just take pics of the fireworks itself, should I use a very small aperture to keep everything in focus? Thank you
Your audio man it’s rough
What is going on with that Notre Dame hat Mr. Northrup?
I think those long exposures do not resemble my visual memory of the fireworks. I prefer just to take images handheld.

My "best" camera is the Canon G15 … unfortunately ‘manual’ mode disallows 400 ISO when the shutter setting reaches more than 1 sec … at 1.3 sec the ISO override kicks in and changes the setting automatically to 80 ISO. So be it. By the way the G15, in HD video mode, is quite a decent alternative to my old sony Dig 8 video camera which is relegated only to video playback for ‘digitizing’ years of tape … thoroughly enjoy your posts. Happy 4th from Montreal.
Tony por favor alguna vez haz un video en español !!!
Any reason your not @ ISO 100?
hello sir im from india. i have one question. which camera is better digital, dslr or mirrorless camera. what mirrorless means is this type camera r better that dslr or digital camera llz tell me…
Omg my new obsession is that Brittany Spears Mic
gotta try the 2nd idea tonight … very … enlightening … 😉
That was a cool idea. If the sky is black we can also pan to get fireworks spread across frame I guess. Will try next time . again thanks for the cool idea
Love the hat I live less than a mile from Notre Dame Stadium…
👍👍👍
Tony, why not shoot in bulb mode with your shutter release cable? I just did the Canada Day fireworks and set my tripod up pointed in the right direction and just before the shell exploded in the sky I would press the release and hold as long as I wanted then released and didn’t end up taking one every 3 seconds and still caught the best of the best on every shot and still relaxed watching the show…in fact I was on the pyro crew shooting the show
.
I also turned highlight tone priority on and got amazing photos and can share with you 🙂
I bought your book years ago love it
Tony iv followed you for years and have a question, I photograph trains, moving and stopped in the night for the railroad, I have a 70D but am struggling with the lighting, what would you suggest to be the best lens for these situations? Thanks!

I bet the view count of this video peak around each 4/7/XX
xD
Awesome video. Thank you!
Great video – looking to get some good fireworks pics this 4th of July 2017
canon g16
If you put your hat on the lens your going to get camera shake everytime no?

Very CooL!.. Will Try
that hat trick is actually kinda great
When you shoot what image quality do u use? if i use RAW my canon 700d gets into busy mode.
may camera is g16
I just gave the same advice just a few minutes ago.
However I am not sure it is the best.
But since Tony said so, maybe it is one of the top 1.
Go irish. Great advice. Thanks.
So what is one third of a second in shutter speed? what should i choose in the shutterspeed of the camera?
Thanks! Tried the 2nd technique last night, got some nice photos.
Hi I love your videos and shows. Is there a way to get chapter 10, the link is not working for my here almost 2 years later he he. I also just want to say thanks for a great book and video about LR6 just got it yesterday
Sorry Tony but the last pictures with the firework (2:54) side by side is so fake that you and your wife will give it a thumbs down.
WOW that was helpful! I love the way you knowledge share. Thank you for enhancing my photo experiences.
I always put the little rubber cover (that is always on the strap that comes with the camera) over the view finder as well. It’s surprising how much light that comes through the view finder.
Used this technique last night! 3 years later this video is still relevant
These settings didn’t work on the Canon 5D mark iii.
I tried these settings many times (30, F8 ISO 400), but I could not get the fireworks in focus AT ALL.
I’m talking about his first method. I’m not even going to try to do stop-motion in the dark.
All that work to use a mic and then you just used camera audio?
