Digital Camera Lens
Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 in Photography
What is a good SLR digital camera lens to use to take photos of fireworks at night?
Keep in mind I cant spend $5,000 for a lens. I just want to take some nice quality fireworks photos. Will I need a flash of some type or anything additional for this to work?
Many DSLR's, like my Olympus E-510, have a fireworks setting. Put the camera on a tripod and select this setting from the shooting modes and the camera does the hard work for you. Be advised that the shutter needs to be open for a longer time when filming fireworks, regardless of camera, to get the images you are looking for. You will need a tripod, and a clear view where no one will walk in front of the camera. The fireworks mode is designed to get the best possible images. Unless you have the experience to set it manually, I strongly suggest you use it.
You can also use the night scene or set it up manually.
