Fireworks from the bedroom window

That's just lazy.

My crit? Get out and make more effort and you will be rewarded with better pics.

Sorry if that's harsh.

Wow, I don't agree at all, I have many good photographs of displays etc but I wanted a panorama. Unfortunately in the upload, it introduced a lot of noise across the sky. Personally I think they are the best I've done.

I quite like them. A little different from the norm. Which is not always a bad thing.

Redspider · 6 Nov 2009

That awfull pixaling in the sky is not on the original, I use Flickr for these photos, so I tried Photobucket & it is the same. Can anyone tell me how to get over it.

Wigster · 6 Nov 2009

Haha, I did the same as you (photos from window).

I'm from Penarth

Penarth fireworks > Barry fireworks.
Here's my result:

And here's the timelapse video of it:

No. 2 is probably my favourite but I also like the sky in 1...

I was tempted to do the same thing, but I was scared someone would see the camera setup looking out the bedroom window.

That is a very good picture, but I notice you also have the pixalation, I wonder what causes it?

Wigster · 6 Nov 2009

In the sky you mean? It's just because it's so dark, the sensor tends to add noise to the very dark areas of pictures.

Buck · 6 Nov 2009

Looks like you were both lucky with the weather we had low cloud and misty rain so not good for picsbut did manage to get a couple of long exposures with the boys and their sparklers!!!

Ah well - hoping some events will take place this weekend

Yes in the Sky. But it is not on the original, the stars are clear & you can even see the 7 sisters (in the ones without cloud). I tried uploading a photo that had not been resized & it still has this pixelization.

Thanks. You should try it next time, maybe saturday.

Think they're great, the stars been visible really helps things along, clouds/smoke are great too, very nice set overall

Thank you, it's just a shame the real photo can't be seen without the pixalization. Has anyone any idea why this is happening? It's never happened before on my uploads.

maybe try some lower aperture and longer exposure. I used to do with 30sec. Use a grey and black card to cover the bright area. That can help to take a full firework.

But the originals are good, it loses quality in the uploading. I notice all the fireworks shots posted today suffer this way in the dark parts. It must be something to do with the way Flickr/ Photobucket uploads.

the second one looks the best out of them

Thank you Animal.

I am now back home on my desktop & the pixaling has gone, so it must be down to my Laptop. Any ideas how to stop it on the laptop?

Good shooting - wish my bedroom had a view like that - as it is I live in a bungabow...no decent views for me

Thanks. I wish I had the views as well. I was visiting my mate & he has views over Barry, the Severn & over to Weston Super (mud) mare.

I really wanted to get a panorama view of the displays with the sky, moon clouds in. I will try the same next year from a different place.

Here are the last few.

5. The neighbours fireworks 2 doors away.

6. Crop of 4. To the right of the big tree there is a white firework, to the right of that is a distant glow, That is Weston's fireworks.
