Hmm... wonder when i should post random stuff... xD

Fell welcome to any random time :)

[MENTION=25661]GenKiDan[/MENTION] ;

Thanks :3
You just need to get an idea of what settings to use. In this case:
ISO Value: 4000
Shutterspeed: 1/60 s
F: 4.5

It's still quite hard. Last year most of my pictures failed because it was too dark or shaky etc etc.
And I have to to buy a tripod for my camera so there are all taken with hand. I have quite the steady hands so it wasn't that much of a deal. But the pics will get better with a tripod to prevent even the slightest vibarations (even the push of a button can cause unwanted blurryness)

We have an annual fireworks festival around this time. Different countries compete for the trophy.
This years result:
1. The Netherlands! (w00t!)
2. South Korea
3. Belgium

For those interested, I have a video of Japan's entry on my youtube channel (unownHGSS of course :3)
I was a bit late so I didn't have time to adjust camera settings so I decided to make a video of it.

Such a low shutterspeed that explains it all ! I usually try to deal with like 0.5s !!!! and trying not to shake while pressing the button that seems to need to be pressed sooo hard ofc. Only problem though is that my max ISO value is 400, only one tenth of what you use and have available. But seeing those settings made me put my camera on max iso right away at least and employ a SS of at least 1/3 s now. My way of thinking was that the best image quality comes with the lowest possible ISO, and I suppose thats actually a good way of thinking if at least using a tripod to compensate for the slow SS...silly me who stubbornly tried keeping the ISO low even when doing handheld.

Congratz, your Dutchness must be proud, hope you had champagne and red roses back at your royal castle:redface:. Was Norway competing as well by any chance ?

Well as you raise the shutter speed, shaky hands become less and less a factor. If you get it even faster than that (say 1/240), and you are taking Raws, then you could practically be running and it wouldn't matter.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol dutchness xD Hmm... how many countries compete? xD

Ehh too busy to post stuff for now =w=

In the dark you need a high ISO in order to get the actual colors of the fireworks right.
And the SS is more of a trial and error. Too long and you get blurry or 'long lines' of fireworks. Too short and you end up with dark pictures. You need to find a balance between the 2.
Seeing as you have a max ISO of 400, you can make the SS longer. What's the max for that?

No, this year there was no Norway.
Competing countries were: Germany / South Korea / The Netherlands / Spain / China / Belgium / Austria / Japan

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

[Monjster]

[MENTION=25661]GenKiDan[/MENTION]; Well normally while I'm not on the vacation it's only on weekends. But right now as I am still not going to school I drink whenever I feel like it. But it's mostly beer as drinking hard liquor can be bad for body.

 

[FinalPyre]
