Capture Awesome Firework Photos using an Entry Level DSLR

[@cheeto.1]

After watching this video I shot some Fireworks last night 7/4/18 they came out great. I used my 10yr old Nikon D60. Proof is in the pictures that you don’t need expensive gear to get great photos. Thank you so much you sir are a natural teacher and I had so much fun with my new knowledge.

[@RealWorld]

Very cool and glad to be of help!:) Nice to see old gear coming to life!:)

[@alexgavril6875]

I really miss these old school informative videos without clickbaits

[@RealWorld]

lol - i know what you mean ... just the facts:). i started the channel with the simple intent to help people and maintain the same today.

[@518TommyP]

This was awesome..I didn't know that the kit lens was so capable.. You're saving me a ton of cash!

[@RealWorld]

Hi Tom - thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 and included kit lens is fully capable in my opinion. Once you take time to exploit all the features, the camera really opens up.

[@maximusprime8091]

Thank you mate. Great tips 👍👍👍 more vids

[@kumarp4858]

expensive camera or lenses don't make good photographs, practice will make you to take good shots with composition and lightning. just don't hesitate to explore your self and keep watching @realworld

[@tonyforlano3887]

Thanks for your tips. I got some great shots over the lake.

[@RealWorld]

awesome and glad to be of help!:)

[@abhinav32100]

Why is this channel not exploding yet! Other youtube photographers talk too much! Here it's no-nonsense to-the-point video!

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and agreed!:)

[@laszloszeder4591]

I just want to thank you this tutorial! Yesterday I captured some explosion of fireworks whit your instructios. The results is awesome! Thanks!

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)

[@georgejonsoi4373]

Was thinking about buying the Nikon D3400, and after seeing your videos, I am Gonna go for it, You are awesome for taking the time to show us how to get these amazing shots, new subscriber coming at ya

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback George and glad to be of help!:) Welcome to the channel and stay tuned for more videos:).

[@greygoose3936]

I just bought a D3400 in 2020 and it's still amazing. It's my first DSLR and I've loved some of the photos I've captured

[@ChandanSatapathi]

Your videos are really made for Real World scenarios. Loved all of em, till now.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

[@vaunsphotography6820]

Awesome images! I have yet to take fireworks photos with my Canon.

[@MrsCynfuller]

I’m so excited, I am waiting on my first DSLR Nikon D5600 and I had so many questions before the camera even gets here. You are answering everyone of them. I even started a file on your info so that I can find it quickly. Thank you

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback Cynthia and glad to be of help!:) The D5600 is a nice/solid camera and I suspect you will get many years of good use from it:). Take time to practice, practice, and practice some more ... you will soon get the hang of it and will shooting like a pro:). Keep in mind the power of post process as I feel this is a sizable part to the overall outcome of any given image.

[@SpeccyMan]

We are now in August and in the UK in my city (Plymouth) this means the British Fireworks Championships. Held over 2 nights (this year it's the 14/15th) with 6 teams competing over the 2 nights. Weather and health permitting, I hope to be there on at least 1 of the nights with my D3400. I do have the IR shutter release and I do have a tripod, so with your settings advice I am good to go. If I can't make it to the actual venue I do have quite a good vantage point near to where I live so I am hopeful of some good shots.

[@RealWorld]

Sounds like a great opportunity for some great shots!:) Remember to disable auto focus after locking focus:). Practice, practice, and practice some more before the event.

[@BVBEBeardedBiker]

Finally, now I know that if I use the remote control I need to put the focus on manual. I got the focus locked and he re-focus over and over again in auto mode. Thank you for the great tip!

[@RealWorld]

LOL - ahhhh yes, I lost track when I first started using a remote of how many times I forgot to switch to manual when using the remote:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).

Very nicely made video. Thanks so much for the tips. Looking forward to capture some fire works this 4th of July.

[@RealWorld]

glad to be of help and hope you caught some good shots! :)

[@SamBrown027]

Since there is a solar eclipse coming up on August 21st, could you do a video about that as well? I'd be very interested to give taking pictures of that a shot as well!

[@wjgraham63]

I like your shorter time. I was told 10-12 seconds and when it was over and done. My shorter times 3-8 seconds were better than 10-12 seconds. I loved the 3-6 second shots!

[@Baube418]

I've got a d3200 that I use with the same generic remote without any issues. The sensor on the front of the camera is in the grip handle, there's a small plastic dot in the center of it. That's the sensor. There's another one on the back, that works very well too

[@RealWorld]

I like the IR sensor and wish Nikon would have left it in the D3500 model:).

[@SpeccyMan]

@@RealWorldMakes me glad I bought the D3400. Updates removing useful features are hardly updates, eh?

[@gleacesjuvilian314]

Hi, I am really loving your channel. I just got a Nikon d3400 and was keeping it idle untill I started seeing your videos.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Dust off the camera and have some fun!:) I turn to my camera at various times throughout the year to satisfy my creative itch ... explore, experiment, and have fun!:)

Thanks I did what exactly you said my 4 July fireworks pictures came out awesome

[@RealWorld]

great to hear and glad to be of help! :)

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

Fun fact: Tonga's King Topou VI has his birthday on July 4th, so Tongans celebrate the 4th with fireworks too!

[@pp308]

simple straight to the point ... your teaching method is way down like I love. I have a feel that I will master the art of photography not just the basics. I am your fan from India and will try these during Diwali festival for sure.i don't know if before that I will get a fireshow.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Best of luck shoot the festival - festivals are always a good opportunity to capture awesome shots:).

[@patriciaterranova1074]

Loved the training on this video and especially the tips related to the remote. Can’t wait to try this.

[@RealWorld]

Glad to be of help Patty!:)

[@JonMichael001]

I have an 'older' D3100 and am excited about taking some shots of tomorrow night's Sternwheel Festival fireworks display on the Ohio River. Will be a bit of a challenge, since I've never shot real decent fireworks before, and I'll be sitting along a set of cliffs about three miles downriver. Tried it last year and got caught in the rain. Thanks very much for the instructions.

[@RealWorld]

Glad to be of help and enjoy the fireworks!:) The D3100 is a capable camera and should be able to capture fireworks. Conduct a bit of recon in the morning/afternoon to determine a good spot to watch/shoot the fireworks. Get to the spot early enough to get setup and relax:). If this is your first attempt, you might be surprised to see what you can capture!:)

[@JonMichael001]

I posted the only pic I was able to take from last years Festival before the rain drove me off the hill. As you can see I wanted to include the surroundings. Sure is fun to learn. :)

[@RealWorld]

Nice picts and hopefully you have better weather tonight!:) Be certain to check the ISO ... try to stay at 100 to prevent noise in the image. Post back w/ more images from tonight if possible ... good luck and have fun!:)

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

Wish I had seen this video last year (2018), but noticed it earlier today before I went to work for a new year "Have a few drinks, and take the rest of the christmas candy/new year party 'things' home!" 'party' 😁 I managed to get a few good shots, even at my bad location. There's houses all around me, and most of the firework was covered by them, but as said; I did manage to get a few good shots. I even had a chance to catch a car driving by to get my first 'proper' time lapse photo with some nice trailing brake lights 😁 You never fail to impress me Mark - Hope you have a great new year, and may 2020 bring you many more subs, fortune and prosperity.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/feedback and good to hear from you!:) I have been offline for the last few weeks working on various projects - just now catching up on older post/comments:).

[@MrMiss-cp9bw]

​@@RealWorld No worries Mark - I've been busy with work myself, and while I'm hanging out on KZbin I'm not that _''social''_ when I'm just trying to unwind - I have some catching up to do myself 😊 But yeah I did notice your uploads have been "lacking", but I'd much rather have quality over quantity! I love your approach to your uploads, the entire vibe that comes from them and all the technical info that you give out. Just in case you re-read this comment I have a few suggestions for possible content in 2020: - How to take photos of the sun without ruining your eye, and taking care of your equipment (Photo Genius got a question like this, and said exposure to the sun might/can do damage to the sensor). - Star photography, specifically, equipment: ESPECIALLY if you're able to borrow some from your local photo gear vendor, else please don't bother (I really want to invest in a startracker-type-thingy myself, but I'm kinda strapped for most of the year - Trying to save up for a trip to Scotland and my license 😁) I also have an "odd" question: Do you use an IPS monitor or a TN/VA monitor? My brother recently got a new gaming monitor, which is IPS and while I've constantly heard the colour reproduction is better I was dumbfounded by it. Honestly I'll keep an eye out for a cheap IPS monitor simply for editing photos during 2020.

RealWorld By the way during fireworks what’s the preferred zoom on the lense 18 35 or 50 on the kitlens. I have a 35 mm prime lense

[@RealWorld]

I typically like to leverage a zoom lens since my distance to the show may vary and I can use a higher aperture (like f/8, f/11, etc.). If I did not have a zoom lens and given the choice of a 18, 35, or 50, I would lean towards the 35:).

[@jagoss45]

Also I did find some free software to allow for time lapse interval photography. I believe it's DigiCam control. I haven't used it yet as it requires the camera to be connected to a computer via USB but it seems to work fine. I still wish Nikon would have included a built in intervalometer but I guess they want you to get the D5500 for another $600

[@RealWorld]

LOL - thought the same re Nikon. Timelapse is cool and would be nice to have on the 3400. I toyed with it on the D500 when I reviewed/tested ... it was nice to have the camera build/produce the timelapse:).

Watching this on the 5th November in the UK. For us this is Guy Fawkes night or bonfire night. A day to commemorate an attempt to blow up the houses of parliament. There will be a lot of fireworks tonight but I won't be photographing or going to a display. On Sunday November 11 we have a huge display to commemorate the end of WW1. I will be putting your advice to good use then using my d3200. On the subject of the ir sensor the D3200 has two one on front and one on the rear. Seems odd the newer model seems to lack this along with some other features like ability to plug in external mic.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post and welcome from the United States!:) Sounds like you have couple of great opportunities to capture some fireworks:). Agreed, I am not certain why Nikon removed the sensor from the D3500 which I just reviewed. I used my wireless remote on previous versions quite often. Nikon's answer is to use their smartbridge app.

[@crispinmathew8379]

@12.41 .. do we need to switch to manual focus even if we are using back button focusing ? Not required right ? Thank you for your videos. Simply awesome.

[@RealWorld]

Yes and here is why ... if you are using the wireless remote, the camera will try to lock focus when you press the button regardless of back button focus:). If you are not using the wireless remote and simply pushing the shutter button with your finger, not a problem - you do not need to leverage manual focus:).

[@crispinmathew8379]

Yup :) thanks

Hi Steve ... sounds like a great opportunity to take some great photos!:)

[@MrSujitBiswa]

Plzz reply me okey...!!! Does Nikon D7100 supports the wireless remote and if yes how to do that...???

[@RealWorld]

Yes, the D7100 will support the wireless remote:). You need to set the camera in the wireless remote mode first (rotate the large dial to an icon that looks like a small/tiny remote). When in this mode, the camera should receive a signal from the remote:).

[@davidhunt3161]

[@HuckRock13]

I have the Nikon D33OO and it is an interesting little camera I enjoy using. However, I am thinking of upgrading in the future to something much better in quality, as money allows. For those you here in the comments, the Nikon D3300 and 3400 are almost identical with a few minor little tweaks.

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post/comment and agree regarding the D3300 and D3400. You might consider the D750 for the next upgrade ... a full sensor camera from Nikon that has been around a few years but rock solid IMO:).

Great tips! I'm planning on taking fireworks shots at Walt Disney World.

[@RealWorld]

Ahhhh yes, I have been to Disney - a great photo opportunity:).

[@psionski]

Sadly I don't think focusing at infinity is as simple as "rotate it in this direction as much as you can". I've tried this for shooting star fields, and it didn't work; after some research, I think the problem is that the last setting is actually _past_ infinity (whatever this is supposed to mean), the real infinity is somewhere a bit in the other direction. So, autofocus on the moon or in the distance like you say, and if there's no moon or any lights around... live view, zoomed in, and try to get the dots to be as small as possible... I don't know, if there's a better way, I'm definitely open to suggestions...

[@RealWorld]

Thanks for the post and I have a few thoughts on the subject:). You are correct and I have heard/experienced the same - infinity is actually a slight rotation back from a traditional infinity indicator on any given lens. Unfortunately, the Nikon 18-55 lens does not have an infinity indicator along with other lenses. A major concept to understand is hyper focal distance. This is the distance at which the given point to infinity will be in focus. I created a video which might be of some help to better understand the concept - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jIpKuAmr5rldU

[@ajmenanga1107]

Notice all your video your white balance is always on auto. Do you use them? Just curious.thanks for the great videos and lessons?respect 🙏

Any advice for using a Nikon D40 ( lower end) for Astronomical Photography? I'm new to this but would love to start doing long exposures of the night sky. Have you made a video on this topic? Thank you in advance

[@RealWorld]

The D40 should work in a similar fashion as the D3400 ... it might be older but still has the ability to control the aperture, shutter, etc.:). I created a video on shooting stars which might be of help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqbZiGd-gZimqdE

[@j.christina8668]

Would you use the same techniques and settings for colored smoke bombs?

[@RealWorld]

LOL - I had someone ask a similar question just the other day!:) In short, yes. Keep in mind that you will want to close the aperture all the way down or use an ND filter if shooting during the day (this will help to keep the shutter open longer and maintain a proper exposure):)
