Default Guy Fawkes

My husband let off a few fireworks last night (few nights past the actual celebration night) and I managed to capture this. Obviously not the best, but not too bad by any means as this was a hand held shot at 8 seconds.... and as its my first ever firework shot I thought I would share it with you all. This shot is prior to the whole thing just blowing to bits and shooting bits everywhere except up.

Great shot. I missed out on seeing fireworks and taking photos. You did really well for your first go.

Default Great shot

I have yet to take firework pictures but hope to one day to try it out with my camera. For a first time, that is a really great shot.

That's a great shot for a first try. Maybe I'll try my hand at it some day. TFS
