[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 232339, member: 14443"] ive shot fireworks with an 85mm lens so it all depneds where you will be in relation to the FW. how high they will shoot up and how much you want to include. I dont like shooting with a WA lens. I love the compression of teles and everyone shoots FW wide. its much more impressive and very hard to shoot with a tele. but its a very WOW effect when I showed the pictures to people. sometimes getting "everything" in is too boring. I shot at 10 seconds at times. it was really stunning. WA pictures are way to common and meh imo. I did it once in a lake and had the compression of the tiny boats with the huge sky and FW. the lake had the colors of the FW reflected on the surface. very nice images. obviously locking up the focus to manual, pre focus and set it. mirror lock up. since you have a very limited time you have to fire shot after shot with little fiddling. you have to shoot then quickly readjust (anticipating where they will fire them and at what height) and shoot.
