The Qixi firework show at Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf last year was the first edition
This year, 520 seconds of fireworks will still be launched!!
Let’s revisit the grandeur of recent years
2016Grandeur of the year
Last year I shot from the rooftop of a friend’s home – the view was fantastic
Choosing a Shooting Spot
1. Sanchong Zhongxiao Pier
There were still spots available in the afternoon, and it has been a popular shooting spot in recent years
The fireworks over Zhongxiao Bridge are also quite spectacular
2. Taipei Bridge
Taipei Bridge is the king of shooting spots
You can capture both the train tracks and fireworks in the frame, but you’ll need to stake out your spot early
3. Dadaocheng Pier
Shooting at Dadaocheng Pier
For an upward angle, a fisheye lens is needed to avoid clipping the frame
Essential Tools for Shooting Fireworks
1.Tripod(To allow for longer exposure times)
2.Shutter Release Cable(Prevents camera shake caused by pressing the shutter button manually)
3.Lens Choice Depends on the Distance to the Fireworks(Standard LensorUltra-wide-angle and fisheye lenses are particularly good)
