The kit lens is probably 18-55mm I'm guessing, and if you're new to fireworks I would recommend shooting wider if possible. The 50mm will be a better quality lens, and if you are a reasonable distance away you may be able to still use it, particularly in portrait, so that you get some landscape for that sense of scale.
@@GlennMartinPhotography Yes there are trees in the foreground and I think a building. You are correct I am new to taking fireworks pictures. What about settings? The f-stop on that lens is 1.8. Is that too low?
@@marykrigbaum9021 use the settings as per the video, doesn't matter how wide your aperture can go because you generally want to start at f/8 up to f/13(ish)
Really good advice and work around for various methods, not over complicated and well presented, may of helped some people if a set up had been shown, but I don’t know what system you use? So may not have helped, photo Genius does Nikon and canon, that makes you know it works on those cameras. DG
Thanks for the feedback. The advice genuinely is brand agnostic and the great majority of cameras will have the settings outlined available as there's nothing particularly unique about them :)
Pls make a playlist about that and "long exposure photography" tysm! :)
this guy is Underrated, great vid ❤ (you gained a sub)
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the valuable tips on fireworks. Been doing it for yonks but I never had a proper handle. Much appreciated.
Glad to help!
Thankyou!! Again just some ‘beautiful’ photographs 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks so much 😊
What about White balance?
I like my white balance set to cool off the scene a little, so around 3000-4000k
I only have a kit lens and a 50 mm lens which one would you recommend? Thanks for great information. 😊

@@GlennMartinPhotography Thank you. At least this is a recipe I can follow to see if it works with my trigger.
@@GlennMartinPhotography Might not have been a good idea to Use the 50 mm. I'm using a trigger and I can't get the camera to turn on.
thanks a lot.
