Love it! ; Did you use any filters for that? ; What settings did you use? ; I have tried those shots more than once with not so good results.
Camera - ; Canon 7d Shutter - 1 min Aperature - 16 Focus - manual I used two ND filters, one 9x and the other 4x. I set the focus manually by using the 10x mode in live view. ; I iset the exposure off the castle before the show. I had to wait about 45 sec after each shot before I could take the next shot while the data was written to the memory card. ; I used a Lexar Professional 233x speed card ao a faster card would probably let you get more pics. I think I was able to get about 5 or 6 pics max. ; The framing was off in the first shots as I didn't know exactly where where they set off the fireworks. ;
Great shot of the fireworks. I shoot from the contemporary basically at the same settings. I dont have a nd filter, so I shoot at f22, iso 100 and shoot bulb. Also, manual focus is a must because the camera may start searching around in the dark for something to focus on. I really miss a hard infinity stop on the new lenses during the fireworks!
Did you have any kind of long exposure noise reduction turned on? ; On my Nikon, if I have that feature enabled, it spends as much time processing the image as it did to take it, and you can't take another shot until it's finished processing. Nice shots.
I turned off the long exposure noise reduction and the write to the card was cut from 60 sec to about 2 sec. ; Thanks for the tip.
