I was lucky enough to be panning when the firework went off and capture this beautiful red explosion. Even managed to get the puff of smoke on the ground. Lucky shot, in all honesty.
Photographing fireworks is a challenge. Possibly better equipment might help, but night photography is a little bit specialist anyway, in my experience. It’s all to do with the light and at night there isn’t much, so that means longer exposure times and holding the camera more still. Next time I’m near fireworks I will try a video, as I think this might work better.
Enjoy 😀

Ooh aah…. Do they light off fireworks much in the UK?
Mostly on November 5th, it’s traditional in UK
Whats november fifth?? Ive never heard of such a thing
I like the photo more than I would like a video – more effective. Its a moment in time captured – and darn well might I add. 🙂
Thanks Belinda … I play with both Video and Stills, oh and time lapse sometimes too !
Time lapse IS fun Don. 🙂
