Title: Help for Fireworks recording - 5D mk3
Post by: chiccozapp on May 19, 2023, 11:06:32 PM
Hi.. I will have to record a fireworks show and I need some advice on how to best set ML for a good result..
I couldn't rehearse before the show, I'd rather arrive with the settings ready, at least with some small modifications that could be done on site.

What settings can you recommend?
Thanks so much

What lenses are you shooting on?

Iso 200 at f2/2.8 should be a good starting point for bright highlights e.g. Fireworks.

Fireworks are bright, so be careful you don't overexpose them, you ideally want to record the different colours of the fireworks and not just blown out highlights, lol pun intended.
