I know this is a kinda old video, but it's still relavant. In the past when I've tried photographing fireworks I usually get a jumbled mess. Using these tips I got great shots. Thanks!
SUPER helpful! The tip about getting to a spot early came in handy as well as many others. I got there two hours early and once it got packed a lady tried to put her chair directly in front of my camera. Don't worry I asked/told her to move and she did.
Great tips as always. There is noise reduction settings on DSLRs and should be turned off. This will prevent the camera from processing images and you can get the next shot quicker
I really dig your advice man.... I panicked a bit and flopped settings throughout, but I grabbed an acceptable amount of firework burst, man. Thanks a ton!
I have 3 opportunities over the next 3 days to make my first attempt at shooting fireworks. I've watched Fro's video twice now and feel confident I can at least do an adequate job tonight...and hope to improve each night. I really appreciate the down-to-earth explanations. I've been making a decent living doing real estate photography for the past 2 years. Now I'm branching out to have some fun with my cameras. Just added a new D500 to compliment my other Nikon DX bodies.. Thanks to Fro for all the great advice on all aspects of photography. Always very helpful!
This video helped me get some great fireworks shots this 4th of July. Thank you. Made for a seamless evening of shooting here in Colorado in the rocky mountains during the show.
I live within walking distance of the resort where our fireworks show takes place, but I always go down early in the morning, and stake out my spot. I use a Canon 18-55mm kit lens, and I get great shots!
Very common sense stuff, but at the same time, I've never thought about doing any of the tips you mentioned. I never knew I needed a video on this. Thanks for the tips!! Another good video for Mr. Froknows.
Thank you so SO much for this video and your advice. Based on your tips, I shot fireworks last night and I am so happy with the results!! Thanks again and again for sharing your knowledge and advice, I’ve learned so much from you and your awesome videos!
Just finish our Canada Day celebrations fireworks, remembered your tips which really help me a lot this time. Finally, got some good shots of the fireworks, or least better than the ones I had before :) :)
Thanks Jared for posting these tips before Canada Day. It was extremely useful for me last night For me I wound up using Iso 64 (D850) F8-F11 24-70mm lens between 44mm and 70mm i focused on the first firework as it went off, and left lens on that spot most of the rest of the night, some adjustment from time to time. In 20 minutes wound up with 178 photos to mess around with on bulb mode. Oh and i used Matrix metering / full scene meter, not spot. (haven't seen anyone specifically say what to use for metering tbh) For us the water was free if you looked like you were going to pass out infront of a paramedic... just sayin :)
ok, as an aspiring photographer, this was actually really helpful. I will try my best to use these tips (and get some better equipment) because this is really in-depth. thank you, and new subscriber here!
I failed at the 16-B last night as I shot my first fireworks display. I was intending to go 24mm on my 24-70 but did not notice it was at 35mm since I was quite nervous haha. Dang I missed some of them money shots of those high up big ass explosions. I got some pretty good ones though so it was fine but definitely remembering my fuck up last night as to not fuck up again. lol. Thanks for the tips.
thank you so much for this vid.....i went to the macys fourth of july show in NY last year and it was madness (lots of people) but amazing. Going to the DC one this fourth. Great timing for this vid.
Fro...thanks for the great video!! My wife and I will be out tomorrow night for her to try out her new D500. Can you let me know what white balance you were using? I don't remember hearing you talk about it in the video...thanks!
4th of July is almost here (again). My Canon G7X is ready to capture some pretty explosions. Settings are pretty much good to go, just need to scout out a good location for the show here.
Hey, i like your videos! I want to shoot Portrait with fireworks in the background the great gatsby style, can you suggest settings and equipment so i can prepare.
Any tips if I’m just shooting on a 24MM Gmaster with an A7R4? I am shooting fireworks for NYE off the river in Chicago at a party to utilize the photos for my art portfolio and I have very little photography experience. Any advice would be humbly appreciated.
The thing is that you need a very slow shutter speed. Due to this, using your hands is usually not a good option. One option would be put you camera in any table maybe or any other place where the camera can shot this low shutter speed without movement. If you definitely have no place to put your camera still, use a lens with vibration reduction and keep the camera steady as you can. Good luck!
I just got a Nikon 24-85 F 2.8 D lens for my 7100. But I also think my Tamron 16-300 mm would be good too. The Tamron has a bit of a wider angle if I need it. What do you think?
I have a Canon m50 and several m series lenses, the focus ring has no labeling on them so i can't pre-focus near infinity. I wondered about focusing on any clouds, if available, before the fireworks started would work, or if you have other suggestions? Although this can focus fast, I'm not confident that it will be able to auto focus on the first firework explosion but that may be an option. Thanks for all your tips.
I love the cat. "Stop talking. When you talk, your hands move. I want them on my noggin! And by the way, who the hell are you talking TO?! People are stupid."
Photographing Children !!!! I don't know about the USA but here in the Uk the parents of that child you intend to photograph will go ballistic. Although it's not against the law to photograph children in the Uk it's not advisable

Watching it now for later... 😍 Happy New Year 🎆📸
Look at you being all timely and topical.

I'll be photographing fireworks tomorrow, can't wait.
Very timely even for 2020. Love your videos and I learn more with each one. Thanks.

Oh my gosh, love the cat
I was thinking of shooting fireworks next week. Perfect timing!
I just saw the video for My Gear Vault, what a great idea.

Excellent tutorial! I one thing additional I do which can be risky is take off the camera lens filter. Some times the glare interferes
Perfect timing for this video, I could never for the likes of me take good fireworks photo ! LOL! Thank You Jared ! :)

Do you remember those older videos? What's the first video of mine you ever saw?
Jared Polin i like the video that say 7 tips for starting youtube channel...
Jan 2018. Bought my first DSLR (D3100). Watched 'RAW VS JPEG The Ultimate Decision' and then subbed. I now have two DSLR's and an extensive portfolio.
Kermit
I can’t remember. I would not watch your videos consistently until recently. But I would definitely wind up watching them enough that I finally subbed
It was the fireworks videos from 2014!

Great content. One thing to add. If you’re on tripod, switch off your OS or IS.

The video I never knew I needed. Hello next vlog
10 seconds works well, too man. Love your stuff and look forward to more on this.
That is a heckin' cute kitty!
Great tips! Used your older youtube's and had a great time getting nice shots!
Worked a treat thanks!
For those with Olympus EM cameras there are Live Composite and Live Bulb modes that are excellent for fireworks. Go and check them out!
I don't think I heard a word you said for the first 2 minutes. All I wanted to do was steal your cat and squish him n love him
Great Tuxedo Cat!!!!
Thanks for the tips man! You have helped me grow alot!
Fro...thanks for the great video!! My wife and I will be out tomorrow night for her to try out her new D500. Can you let me know what white balance you were using? I don't remember hearing you talk about it in the video...thanks!

Wow, I literally watched your older video about fireworks last night 🤯
Appreciate this Jared, thanks for sharing.
Could’ve used this yesterday 😭
Great tips! Nice guns too💪
4th of July is almost here (again). My Canon G7X is ready to capture some pretty explosions. Settings are pretty much good to go, just need to scout out a good location for the show here.

Wait not a “what’s in my gear bag video” ? Good video timely video fro, lots of valuable info here!!
Thanks for the tips Jared, a great help. Just wondered, do you shoot fireworks on live view or look through the view finder?
Hey, i like your videos! I want to shoot Portrait with fireworks in the background the great gatsby style, can you suggest settings and equipment so i can prepare.
I think you really missed your calling ......stand up comedy hahaha Thanks for the firework shooting tips
Holy shit I forgot about the band Explosions in the Sky.
Thanks for the video mate!
recently heard one of the daily fros, episode 138, and i think a video on the exposure triangle, deep dive would be good :) thankss
Hi Jared I am following you for a while now, do you have any videos on Leica cameras too
Great video! What's the black box on the bottom left on your desk in the background at the intro? Is that an external storage drive?
The the Men in Black reference, lol. The best of the best with honors,
Love the cat!!!!

@@ThePolomarco Many thanks, Luis! It turned out better than expected.
Great vid, this year will be my first shooting fireworks.
I just got a Nikon 24-85 F 2.8 D lens for my 7100. But I also think my Tamron 16-300 mm would be good too. The Tamron has a bit of a wider angle if I need it.
What do you think?

Hello,did you take pictures or video?
Dark lens filter and put your p900 on star trails mode during fireworks. Is how i du du it!!!! LOL
My P900 has a 2.30 hr exposure time.
Dogs have owners. Cats have servants! TLC Cat is awesome!

I like that cat.
We have fireworks here in Niagara 7 nights a week in the summer, if anyone wants lots of experience with it.
Right before Canada Day. I remember last time you said the cat lost her eye because of playing around railway.
I think your cat wants a little lovin', dude.
