Good advice in general, but the Horizon is
a swing-lens camera so this won't work.

my 2 cents.
Obviously use a tripod. I use a bulb setting for the shutter speed and use the
lens cap as the shutter. As the fireworks burst in the sky I remove the lens
cap and replace it between bursts. Paint the fireworks into the scene. Exposure
is determined by your subject outside of the fireworks (cityscape, building,
whatever). Keep filling the frame with fireworks till you reach proper exposure
for the outside scene. Use your aperture to control your "window for
opportunities".

Subject: Fireworks ?
Hi there,
I recently bought a Horizon 202. I want to take some pictures
of the new year fireworks here in Reykjavik. I will try to find some
high ground and capture the sky over a large portion of the city.
Here in Reykjavik the whole sky lights up around midnight. If the
weather will be calm then I believe that it will be a spectacular show.
I have never tried to photograph fireworks before. There are some pointers on
the net
about this but not regarding panoramic cameras.
Any recomendations regarding film, shutter speed etc. will be appreciated.
Maybe a swing lens camera is not well suited to do this? Well I'm pretty
clueless.
Horizon specs:
- multi coated 28mm/f2.8-16 lens
- exposure times: 1/2-1/4-1/8s and 1/60-1/125-1/250s
As I said any recomendations will be helpfull.
regards,
Jakob S
