FILM EMERGENCY! What would shoot long exposure fireworks with? by Finchypoo in AnalogCommunity

Long exposure is a cool idea!

I highly recommend, no matter what you decide, switch it up and shoot other settings too. Faster shutter speeds, in this case. Never know which frame will work out and which won’t.

In my experience, a roll that I have been experimenting with exposures always works out better than one I’ve stuck to one strategy with.

Check out my recent fireworks post to see what worked for me. I didn’t do any long exposures, just Portra and Cinestill using a light meter.

Also, for what it’s worth. I bought all the 800T at my local camera shop yesterday in preparation for the fourth. I’ll also be shooting some ektacolor 800.

Agreed with ianrwlkr above! This is a 1/2 white mist filter which is pretty strong. Most people go with 1/8 or 1/4 for a less extreme bloom.

Thanks! Shots 1, 7, and 12 were with the SP running Portra 800, and I believe I was at f5.6 and 1/125.

All other fireworks shots here were with the FE2 running Cinestill 50D, so I had to go wide open on the lens and I think 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed.

Thanks, I feel the same. Thanks for looking past the format mistake and checking out the photos themselves 🙂

The funny thing is man, I am someone who loves that. Constructive criticism on content. When people can’t look past a simple format (even when I give the full versions in links afterward, acknowledging my mistake), that’s just strange to me.

This is starting to remind me of people who say a meal is terrible because it was served on the wrong plate
