Townend Camera Club

November the 5th saw a contingent of club members make their way to Kay Park in Kilmarnock for the bonfire night celebrations. The experience was a swift learning curve in the art of night time photography. Including how to get the best effect and colour. Experimentation showed tungsten white balance seems the best way of recording a cleaner whiter base colour of fireworks themselves.

Meter reading was abandoned, but it was found that a smaller aperture and long exposure got the best results.

The use of a sturdy tripod made life so much easier too. It lets you get on with the framing of the fireworks.
