Thank you Joe. I truly enjoy your videos. A year and a half ago, I started out with my first Nikon, a Z50. Since then a 6ii and most recently a 7ii. I cannot thank you enough for all I’ve learned by viewing your video’s. There have been other UA-cam channels that have helped me advance during this time frame as well, but your demeanor and soft tone is greatly appreciated. What a gentleman! Looking forward to more tips in the future. Thanks again.

Thank you very much sir - it is comments like these that keep me going. Very much appreciated.

[@5beesgarage]

The info in this video is explosive!

[@ShutterSpeak]

Boom 💥

[@jimminer7962]

Joe- Thanks for the great info. My family and I will be heading out tomorrow for our local fireworks show and I can't wait to put into practice the things you have shared. Looking forward to some great pics.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Have fun!

[@rivierapalms6485]

Thanks for this video Joseph it was awesome.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sekander1253]

Thank you, a very useful video as fireworks are so exciting to shoot.

[@ShutterSpeak]

I agree... I love photographing fireworks!

[@margaretlanier8311]

Very informative and beneficial across all brands. Thanks.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thanks for watching!

[@Macrosill]

I shoot Canon but I know shooting Fireworks will now be a Blast! Thanks for the pointers.

[@ShutterSpeak]

A blast indeed! 🎆

[@sigmundochudzawa7102]

Well done Joseph. I enjoyed your fireworks camera setup . Clarity and smplicity is what matters in your talk.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂

[@linagrincelaityt417]

Thank you for the tips! I will try to take some fireworks shots tomorrow. I only have 50mm and 85mm prime lenses, but I am pretty far away on the hill. Probably will use portraite orientation to get the height of the fireworks. Will have to use 2s delay timer and 4 shots in the row to minimize the shake and optimize the amount of shots. The landscape is just dark fields and a small area of ppl gathering by the bonfire.

[@chrischeng7788]

Hi great tips! Just got my first Zf

[@roberthennessey5702]

Thank you Joe, looking forward to trying these settings out, like you I would do the noise reduction in post if needed. Thanks have a great 4th.

[@ShutterSpeak]

You're welcome - have a great fourth as well!

[@samareshm]

Thanks Joe

[@brentkingstonphotography4615]

Most informative 😎

[@georgevanmeter3179]

I only got my Z5 back in April, so last night was my first attempt at getting fireworks. Thank you for the advice, I got some great shots, though I need to work on my timing.

[@ShutterSpeak]

I'm glad you got some great shots/ Thank you for watching 🙂

[@JTDOutdoors]

Thank you for the informative video!! I have a question I have the opportunity to be in the pit with the firework technicians. Would that be a good place to photograph from or would I be better off at a distance? I'm torn and don't wanna miss some great shots being in a small town we only get fireworks a few times a year.

[@phillipdaskol165]

Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to July fourth to use this formula.

[@murali0561]

Thanks for the tips.
What would be Active D-lighting, Please.

[@jianxu538]

Thank you very much. Great info. One question, do you use electronic shutter or mechanic shutter?

[@ShutterSpeak]

Mechanical - never use electronic.

[@user-su2ql2if4k]

Hello Joseph! What settings do you recommend for fire show dance?

[@mchjubjub6915]

Thanks Joe,
Never considered photographing fireworks but now will be confident if I do.
Lots of great tips explained well :)

[@ShutterSpeak]

Be sure to send a comment if you get some great shots!

[@mchjubjub6915]

@@ShutterSpeak will do :)

[@dougmckillop9352]

Thank you Joe. What white balance setting would you use please?

[@ShutterSpeak]

I use auto for these.

[@dougmckillop9352]

@@ShutterSpeak Thanks!

[@realll_ely]

hi, does this work the same with shooting videos?

[@haiduong3576]

Do I need to set white balance ?

[@tomtracy5396]

Thanks for doing this. Ive been doing it all wrong

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thanks for watching. Hope you get amazing fireworks photos this summer!

[@Acadien56]

How do I set a 4 second shutter release with Z6ii?

[@ShutterSpeak]

Aperture priority mode or manual

[@davidheit277]

I am going to try my Nikon D40

[@ShutterSpeak]

Sounds great - loved that camera when i had it.

[@MonacoMike]

I have a Nikon D7500. You didn't mention anything about deactivating the flash. Also, I was a little confused about how you set your focus.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Definitely do not use flash...

[@RichardBO9]

Apparently you use Auto white balance? You didn’t mention where it should be set.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Great point. I shoot in raw and I can alter it in post so yes, I use auto. I also think it works really, really well.
