Most techniques for photographing fireworks typically involves the mounting of the camera on a tripod and setting a slow shutter speed to capture the streaks of light. With the Xpro-1 and 35mm 1.4, I decided to try something different, setting the ISO to 5000, and aperture to F7 and shutter to 125. I attempt to capture the new year fireworks at Marina Bay in Singapore hand holding the camera. That’s right, no tripod or slow shutter speed, handheld shots this time round.
Happy New Year everyone!

did you apply “black” card?
Hi gunston, no I did not apply “black” card. No tripod, just handheld, point and shoot.
Hello,
Great shots!!! Did you fix the focus manually?
Thanks Darek. No, I did not fix the focus manually. The AF is able to lock on almost 100% of the time.
Nice work. I’m using the X Pro 1 as well, it’s amazing how useless a tripod has become.
Thanks Nate!
So you did it much better than me this year, using the 35 XF on the XE1 i had problems with the autofocus to capture fireworks.
