Title: How to shoot fireworks with Magic Lantern ?
Post by: TheJuice on September 08, 2012, 03:24:24 PM
Hi,
Tonight I'll be seeing fireworks with my camera on a tripod.
Any advices on how to use Magic Lantern with FPS adjustment to get nice videos/pictures ? I'd say low FPS like 0.5 fps, or something like that...
Any other useful features ?

Thanks in advance.

Bit late, I know. But I bet if you tried motion detect with a high enough threshold to be triggered by the sudden change in light coming through the lens, you would get a great result! Similar to the way you setup for lightning: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/7002555087/lightning-photography-with-magic-lantern
