    Default Fireworks

    Dear All, please give me your comment on this picture. To give some exif details
    Canon 350D
    Manual Mode
    Tv 4 sec
    Av 16
    ISO 100
    Focal length 46mm (Lens 18-55mm canon)
    Tripod and cable release.
    It's a bit cropped.

    BTW, when I took it to print shop it turned out very ugly.

    Thanks.

    Well done; you've got a nice image there. Your settings are good; typically 2-5 is good for most fireworks, and you've got it 'anchored', that is, a horizon against which to judge it. Perhaps a slight saturation boos in post, but other than that, it's fine.

    That is really nice, I haven't tried taking pictures of fireworks yet, but I might, that turned out wonderful.

    Thanks tirediron and nikki2291.

    In other images the smoke of the firework is a great challege. Does anyone have a work arround?

    I don't worry too much about it. With fireworks I'm happy with a 1-2% success rate, that is, 1-2 keepers per hundred images exposed, and quite often I think the smoke adds a little more 'dimenison' to the image. You can however quite often mask it through clever use of levels & curves and layers though.

    What make them "keepers"? I didn't realize that the success rate was so low, and was thinking of taking my Mamiya RB67 to tomorrow night's fireworks, but I only get ten frames per roll, I can't afford a low success rate. I guess a more specific question would be "Is there a way to ensure that, in planning a picture that it will be a 'keeper'?" Thanks, Kurt
