Capturing the Moment: Photography and Videography Tips

Ready to capture the moment with your color powder cannons? Here are a few tips to get the perfect photo or video.

• Gather your troops. Each cannon needs an operator. Make sure every cannon has a ready and willing pair of hands to make the magic happen before you hit the record.
• Count it down. With powder cannons, coordination is key. Make sure everyone fires their cannons at the same time for maximum effect.
• Dial in your settings. We recommend a pretty fast shutter speed for photographing powder cannons to avoid blurriness, as well as a lower lens aperture if you're getting in close.
• Consider drones. For a dynamic look that showcases the whole event, drone shots can capture cannons as they’re fired across a large area (they’re great for big events, such as color runs).
