Are you willing to recommend shutter speed/aperture/ISO? Did you shoot Manual / Manual w/Auto ISO /Shutter speed priority or Aperture priority ? Beautiful pictures!

Thank you.🙏
Normally when I shoot fireworks, I usually set my camera on Aperture Priority mode with fixed ISO. These were all taken on a Nikon D850 with a Nikon 16-35mm f4 lens on tripod with a remote shutter release.
The first shot is ISO 400 / 30mm / f8.0 / 6 sec / -0.67ev
The second shot is ISO 400 / 30mm / f8.0 / 0.5 sec / -0.67ev
The third shot is ISO 400 / 30mm / f8.0 / 3 sec / -0.67ev
For fireworks anticipating and timing your shot is more critical in order to achieve the full bursts. I also tend to set the exposure compensation to a minus setting in order that the firework highlights don't get overexposed.

Thank you Mike...🙏Looks like you had plenty of time on hand to dig up BCG archives, as this was posted way back in September.🤣. The skyscraper you see in the background is Marina Bay Sands Hotel. It is the world's most expensive standalone casino property valued at U$6.88 billion.

You're right Yezdi, every so often I go back to see what I might have missed, glad I did on this occasion (y)

Thanks so much! I printed the above and put under my "settings" tab in my three ring "Photography Bible". Really appreciate it!
