Well, hello there shipmates. I know it has been quite some time since my last post, but the 4th of July holiday came and went, as did my last duty week here on the Pacific Fleet staff. I can tell you though that my love for grammar and writing still remains, and I am constantly seeing things that just make me wonder. However, today I want to jump back the most-recent holiday and ask all of you great photogs out there -- how in the world you get those great fireworks shots? So, if anyone out there would like to share that would be great! Speaking of fireworks, today's photo comes from MC1 Jason Swink from right here in Pearl Harbor. Thanks,
Senior

ReplyDeleteGreat Post, SUBPAC! Thanks for Sharing.
ReplyDeleteSecret to shooting good fireworks. Get your camera on a tripod. If you have a remote shutter release, this works great but you can also do it by hand. Set your shutter speed to bulb and have your f stop wide open. Get a good thick piece of cardboard that will cover the end of the lens. As fireworks are going off hold shutter open as long as you desire and cover up the lens with the cardboard in between firework explosions. With this method you can have multile explosions at once all in one photo. Takes some practice, but works great...
