Default Fireworks

1st time i've attempted to shoot fireworks, So went and scouted for a decent location, set the camera to 100 iso, F11 and loaded up the remote and waited with another family. I shot around 30 odd pics in the short time they happened and these are my better ones









apologies if they seemed to be leaning towards the left of the pictures..... everything was happening so fast i didn't have time to change camera angles, and didn't want to lose the shots

cheers
Grant

Well done. You've done a wonderful job for your first go at it. Some wonderful colours there. And learned a couple of things too no doubt for next time.

yea swoffa, Main thing i learnt was location, location, location... and also do your homework on camera setting's before you leave, that way i only had to play around with shutterspeed during the shoot
