Makes firework photography look easy!

But we know it isn't. What shutter speed did you find worked best?

30 second times, with variable aperatures. Hard to gauge correct aperature, due to not being able to know how many would go off within 30 seconds. Id say average ap was f14. Shot RAW, converted in photoshop, nikon d70s nikkor 24-85 lens, ISO 200, shutter priority.

Thanks for sharing.

It’s like a lazy way of saying; sorry, I couldn’t think of more things to say about your shots, but I'd really like you to post up more, because I really do like to see your work.

November 5th is Guy Fawkes night - or bonfire night - He tried to blow up the king in the houses of parliament in 1605

Thinking about it, I've always wondered why we celebrate him being captured for all the good politicans do us.
