Best Answer

The use of a tripod does not relate or depend upon the choice of aperture. It depends on a relationship between the shutter speed, the lens focal length and your ability to hold a camera properly and steadily. The general rule of thumb is, use a tripod if the shutter speed is slower than one divided by the lens focal length so as not to induce camera shake. For example, if the focal length is 250 mm, the slowest safe shutter speed would be 1/250.

For low light conditions what is the best f-stop to use?

The best F-stop for any lighting condition is always the one which gives you the desired depth of field and shutter speed. Low light just forces you to make some decisions or trade-offs. Is the subject moving? Do I have the cooperation of the subject? Did I bring a tripod? If I use a tripod and slow shutter speed, can I tolerate movement of objects in the photo? Am I willing to accept some grain which will result from using a higher ISO, then remove the noise later? Did I bring a faster lens?No easy answers here as you can see. When in doubt, take several shots using different F-stop / shutter speed combinations. You may need extra film or memory. Also, study shots taken by others in advance - particularly shots which capture the look you are trying to achieve. Watch for any F-stop details which they may reveal, but don't ignore the lens, ISO and so on. They all play a role.[[User:Srobidoux|Srobidoux]]srobidoux@verizon.net

What are some tips for getting good fireworks photographs?

Tripod the camera, aimed at where you know the fireworks will take place and leave the shutter open (timed exposure). The light exposes the film (or records in the electronic camera) but the dark obviously doesn't. The apeture should be a high F-stop to increase depth of field. You'll need to experiment with the time.
