Attractiveness of Adachi's fireworks

Congratulations on the 40th opening of Adachi 's fireworks.
For me who likes fireworks, July is a long-awaited season for the rainy season.
"Adachi fireworks" is held early as the rainy season will come.
In me, "When the rainy season begins, Adachi's fireworks will come!" There is such an image and it is one of my favorite fireworks festivities with pleasure.
It is a fireworks festival I like because I like the fireworks and the sense of distance between shooting positions when shooting.
The size of the fireworks to be launched with "Adachi fireworks" is the maximum number 4 ball.
The No. 4 ball has a diameter of about 120 to 130 m when opened in the sky, and it is medium size in the fireworks.
However, because the fireworks can be enjoyed in the nearest distance in the viewing area of ​​Kitasenju and Nishiarai, you can feel the power of fireworks adequately.
Fireworks' launch cylinder is installed on a launch platform ship floating on Kawahara and Arakawa, and its width is over 300 meters.
When Wide Star Mine flashes with this width, it will be a feeling that the whole night sky is covered with fireworks at the bleachers seat.

The smoked fire provider responsible for "Adachi fireworks" is Mr. Hokuriku Firefighter in Ishikawa Prefecture.
It will be the second year since last year.
This year I will be expecting quite a bit because there is sometimes the 40th time.
I'm excited about the new project such as double Niagara fireworks.
The finale will echo in the audience's heart with luxurious and magnificent fireworks that will rise to the grand scale together with the traditional music "dignified fireworks".

There is "food" in the pleasure of the fireworks display.
There are many local shops along the way from the nearest station to the venue.
If you've been to Adachi 's fireworks at all, I would like you to enjoy local taste.

Mr. Kin will teach! Tips for taking pictures of fireworks on a smartphone

Choose the type of fireworks

If you are shooting fireworks on a smartphone, it is also important to choose the type of fireworks.
For smartphotography, I feel that "Kamikura fireworks (Kanryu Giku Nano)" is suitable.
Kikakura fireworks are fireworks of the type that spreads widely in the sky and light traces sag to near the ground, because the duration of flight is long, it is easy to match the exposure (brightness) with the smart camera function as well.
By the way, fireworks such as chrysanthemum floral fireworks, peonies fireworks, and lightning strikes tend to be out of focus and overexposure when photographing with smartphones due to short traces of light and flight time.
There are two types of Kikuragi Fireworks: Nishikinka Chrysanthemum and Ginza Chrysanthemum, and both crowned chrysanthemums can be taken with smartphones.
Although it is sometimes called "Yanagi", in general, "Yanagi fireworks" is another kind and it does not spread as much as Kikura fireworks so it is difficult to shoot with smartphone. It is recommended that "Kikuragi fireworks" spread widely.

It is possible to shoot even one shot of Kikuru fireworks, but "Star Mine" will be easier to shoot.
There are several kinds of fireworks launching methods.
The method of launching one at a time is called "single hit" or "single shot launch", and the method of launching one after another with a good tempo is called "fast hit". How to raise lots of fireworks in a short time from small fireworks to big fireworks is called "star mine". If Star Mine of the Kikuru fireworks, the lights are overlapped in the night sky forever so it is easy to match the focus and exposure.

It is advantageous to know what kind of fireworks will come up when shooting fireworks.
Let 's aim for the timing when Kikuru fireworks comes up watching the fireworks program.
Crowned chrysanthemum star mines are often launched in the ending.

How to set up a smartphone

If you take out the hand and shoot it, it will be easier to shake. Hold the smartphone with both hands and hold your armpits.
This can prevent pretty shake, but there are also the following methods to prevent further blurring.
Sit on a chair and lean against the back and fix the body.
Place one foot on the seat surface of the chair and put the elbow on the knee to hold the smartphone.
Vertical blurring will be suppressed considerably with this.

Confirm settings in advance

When the automatic lock or sleep function is turned ON, it will become "Can not press the shutter!" When you think to shoot.
Let's turn off the automatic locking and sleep function so that the shutter can be pressed at any time.
