Really interesting to shoot like you did and compare standard Acros, Acros+R with no shadow, and then +2 and +4 shadow. I am going to try the standard Acros with the same shadow changes tomorrow walking the streets again. Much appreciate you posting and giving me a new direction to play and learn.Michael Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07606343624708974967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-20383605596112984042018-02-11T18:04:02.582-05:002018-02-11T18:04:02.582-05:00Beautiful photos!

When shooting strobe- based images, what you need indeed is to turn off the “exposure preview in manual mode”, or switch to OVF if your camera has one.

I wanted to go somewhere where I could shoot with a new terrain and good weather in the winter time. The Florida landscape had been a bit foreign to me. I'd photographed many places in the U.S. but never much here. I'm finding the challenge of facing a completely new landscape to be invigorating. Hopefully, the feeling will last.

Note that the bottom part of the sun is not hidden. It shows the amount of coverage we saw here in Florida.

I was shooting at 24fps so that would have given me 1/50th (1/60th) of a second. Instead, I slowed it down to 1/24th second, which is the maximum I could go down. This did give me an extra stop but also added more blurring to the moving fireworks, which I feel makes them look better. The rest of my exposure control was done either with the aperture, or by changing the ISO. I usually opted for the later. <br />For the still shots, I wanted a much slower shutter speed to create even more blur on the bursting fireworks. I did a blog post on how to photograph fireworks here:<br /><br />http://aboutphotography-tomgrill.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-to-photograph-fireworks.html<br /><br />…and here:<br /><br />http://aboutphotography-tomgrill.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-to-photograph-fireworks-with-fuji-x.html<br />Tom Grill:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06149972936838234537noreply@blogger.com
