[QUOTE="hark, post: 763817, member: 13196"] Bumping this thread in case anyone is interested in taking fireworks photos tonight. For those from other countries, here in the USA we celebrate July 4th (our Independence Day) with fireworks. Here is a link to Scott Kelby's blog with some helpful info. [URL]https://scottkelby.com/how-to-take-great-fireworks-photos-this-weekend/[/URL] In that blog is this recent video. In a nutshell, he recommends starting with ISO 100, f/11, 4" shutter speed, a tripod, and a cable release. When the first fireworks go up, press the shutter actuation button halfway to focus. Then switch to manual focus since all the fireworks should be at the same distance. OR manually set your lens to infinity then back off the focusing just a little. He also says Dehaze in Lightroom/Camera RAW helps during post processing. If anyone has other suggested settings, please feel free to post them. Some people might have their own preferred settings.
