fireworks

we had an early display this year for Guy Fawkes night in Troon so Sandy and i set off for a night of fireworks, the last shot is an animation of a sequence of shots of one firework as it progressed through it's short life c&c welcome

Stunning, I like the last one..very clever

~V~

We have a display going on tonight which is put on by our Town Council.

20 mins of fireworks then everyone disappears off home again.

Doubt we will go, can see it from the lounge window.

Thanks Vanetta & Stewart, we will also be having another display tonight in Kilmarnock, not sure if we'll be going as Skye has developed a fear of the loud bangs they create and i think we need to stay home with her, as it will be especially bad tonight, this past fortnight has been torture for her, we can't even let her out for her doings between 6pm and midnight, there was even one night when they were letting them off at 2am

Great job on the animation !!

Ha - great fun Sharon - in fact if you use the mouse wheel quickly enough you can see a spectacular firework display starting at the top photo and scrolling down to the last one. ~ John

Love the shots sassy im sure there not an easy image to catch, wonderful colours, i would of tried a couple of shots tonight but the lord and master was not interested in going lol, mind but dont tell him it was too cold anyway, and it started to rain but i got to see them from the comfort of my own home lol

Way cool, Sharon!
Love the animation.

thanks Kathy, John, Sharon & Griz, funny John i was doing that last night with the shots i took which gave me the idea to do the animation, i DID end up going out tonight, (Sandy stayed with Skye) but only down the road from my house where the local kids had built a bonfire and a few neighbours had got together to put on a display, i will process those shots tomorrow and maybe post a few. Sharon they take a bit of practice, i've gone to every display in the area over the last few years with not a lot of success but i think i'm getting there now, i still have a long way to go though to match some of the shots i've seen of fireworks, a definite is a tripod, a low f/stop and as high a shutter speed as you can manage in the dark, then it's just patience and timing
