Hi all,
New years eve will bring loads of fireworks (I heard on the radio 70 million will be spent on legal fireworks for that one night here in Holland) and I want to take some pictures.
Are there any general tips on photographing fireworks? I've been searching around and already figured out a tripod just has to be used.
But I wonder if it's better to shoot RAW or jpeg? I want to be able to do some post processing (don't really like that word since I'm only a beginner) but the amount of time it takes the RAW file to be written to memory card is much higher than JPEG, so is it worth it?
And what about focus, is it better to change during shots, or is it better to just focus once and fire away and see what the results are later?
Thanks!
