Hi, I tried to take some photos of a local fireworks show on new year's eve. This was my first attempt at fireworks and I found out it was quite difficult. Focusing and exposure was the easy part but framing and timing was tricky (no, I hadn't yet got to the wine). The explosions were spread over the sky and it took a bit of luck to get the entire "flower" nicely placed in the frame. Most of them were shot in sequence with little or no time between which also made it difficult to get an exposure with not too many explsions in it. However, out of around 20 shots during 10 minutes these two came out OK.

Lesson learned: The fireworks spread over the sky more than expected. Next time I will bring a wider lens.





Thanks for viewing!
