Yes they where fansatic this year far better than last year. I remeber last year it rained so it was to go with out the rain, i like to go because you get to socialize with your mates. And everyone is chilled out on a Saturday night and it good to here some traiditional music in the back ground.

Wow! This one's impressive. What settings did you use, Colin?

Model	Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL

Focal Length	17 mm
Exposure Time	30.00 sec

I processed the RAW file rather than doing a batch job and added a border.



That was the first batch of fireworks and I hadn't changed my settings from the bonfire pictures, I was just luck that it turned out that way.

All of the later pictures were taken with 2-5 second exposures. The camera was mounted on a tripod and I used a remote shutter release to take the pictures. I hit the button when I heard the fireworks launch and then release it after they exploded.

Brill, thanks Colin. I'll try that next time. I don't have a remote release, though. Nowhere for a cable release either.
