Learn how to setup your Nikon D3200 for portraits, sports, landscapes, nature, animals and more. Easy to follow, step-by-step cheat sheets show you exactly which modes and autofocus settings to use with your D3200. Get out of auto and get control of your camera using tried-and-true recipes. The last fireworks I shot, I used a time exposure of varying length, and got pretty good results at F10 and ISO 200. The lens was set fairly wide, but what focal length you use will depend, of course, on how far away things are. A tripod is mandatory for this. You will also need to use manual focus.

Greetings /r/photography,
I'm in London for New Year's Eve and plan to be outside while the fireworks go off. Naturally, I would love to capture some beautiful shots around the Big Ben and The London Eye.
My question is, how to approach the situation without a tripod? Do you recommend going full manual? Unfortunately, I have no opportunity of preparing myself and getting the settings right beforehand. I won't be around any fireworks until then, and I've never shot fireworks before.
My gear: Nikon D3200, kit lens and the 35mm 1.8.
Thank you in advance,
Cheers

Hi photoclass,
I've been asked by a few people to explain fireworks photography. I won't go into the why's as they are photoclass, but here is the how.
Gear : Fujitsu air conditioner manual.
Camera, lens, tripod (can not be done well without), remote control if possible but they are cheap (15 euro cheap) and available for all DSLR's and some bridge camera's.
Prep:
Find a nice view for your photos. Imagine the fireworks and find a perfect frame for your photos. Find a good spot with people, or a nice landmark, or view of the town, or.. but make it nice. Make sure your view will hold.. don't stand in the middle of a grass field where there are 500 people coming, be at the front.
settings:
with remote:
Timing:
Press the shutterbutton the moment the fireworks leaves the ground. Keep it in untill it has exploded and spread out and release. Press the shutter imediately for the next photo. This can be just one fireworks or a series of them. Check out my imgur album for examples.
without a remote:
Here are some examples, read the comments for more detail on each one.

https://i.imgur.com/Qf1uZRD.jpg : same castle but now only 2 seconds, one burst of them all exploding at once but I was late, the fireworks at the top has already started exploding.
had been waiting for an hour to get this perfect position but it was worth it. this again is multiple seconds, they all went one by one and I just kept the shutter open for the right number of them to show in my photo.
