I posted a sparkler quadriptych<\/a> for my “Happy New Year<\/a>” post yesterday and I thought it would be beneficial to post a single image and provide some history on how I captured this sparkler image. The technique is not that difficult and I think it’s an incredibly rewarding set of images. This series of images on the quadriptych is a four-shot series of one sparkler. The challenge was mostly finding a sparkler that was interesting. \u00a0I purchased a 9-pack and each sparkler was different. Some were starburst\u00a0and some were like the one in the image below.<\/p>\n

I chose to shoot the sparkler after sunset so I setup the sparkler in a clamp out in my patio looking out into the darkness so that the background would be pitch black. \u00a0Then, I setup my camera and framed the sparkler in the middle of the image. I set the\u00a0ISO, aperture and shutter\u00a0settings, set the focus on manual focus and focused on the subject. \u00a0It was hard to determine how far out the sparks would go so I gave myself plenty of room. I then took four, one-second images and processed\u00a0the single images\u00a0in Lightroom then\u00a0processed the quadriptych in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

Did you know that sparklers can burn as hot as 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit?<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my Sony Alpha A7R<\/a> using my Sony FE 24-70mm f\/4 Lens<\/a>\u00a0set on 47 mm. The camera was set on Manual mode with the aperture set at f\/8, shutter speed at 1 second and the ISO set at 100. \u00a0All processing was done in Lightroom.<\/p>\n
