Hi Steve,
What was your approach to this? experimented with some manual settings, then post-pro’d ?
or modified iso/shutter in an auto exp.?
I imagine shutter speed was critical, what did these get taken at?
My son-in-law is involved with running big displays and want some good photos, but god knows my skills aren’t a patch on yours

I followed roughly what @kvetner told me after seeing his entry for the Fireworks Challenge
ISO-100 and 3-4 second shutter.
I dropped the shutter speed slightly to capture what I was after but it just depends on how much you want in your photos.
I’d reccomend between 1-3 seconds to get the best of the firework but keep the iso as low as possible to reduce noise.
This one was shot in fully Auto mode… which isnt bad at all, i just wanted longer trails.
ISO 1540 - 1.4sec shutter
If you base your settings on the above you wont go far wrong, you just need to nail the timings of the explosions.

Just go for it mate, worse case you know auto settings will have your back with great results.
I’m off to fly a display tonight over the sea. Fingers crossed for great conditions and stunning reflections.

I enjoyed them too.
I found some leftovers in a hedge from my visit to the countryside today - empty of course!
