Also for stock, shooting to the latest high standard gives the work greater longevity when 4K will become more widely used. - t Tom Grill:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06149972936838234537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-10342865672050245222017-07-05T15:33:12.536-04:002017-07-05T15:33:12.536-04:00The general rule of thumb is to use a video shutte...The general rule of thumb is to use a video shutter speed that is about double the fps. 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.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-86520096011781913232017-07-05T10:43:04.856-04:002017-07-05T10:43:04.856-04:00beautiful work as usual. i thought shutter speed ...beautiful work as usual. i thought shutter speed for video had to be 1/50th or 1/60th... or were you referring to the shutter speed for the stills? <br />and... why is 4K necessary in general if it will be viewed on a normal screen? just the option to crop? thanks!just sayinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994654403644427092noreply@blogger.com
