Strathaven Fireworks and Bonfire Night 2014

[amp88]

I went along to my local fireworks and bonfire night at the weekend hoping to shoot some video. Unfortunately there was heavy wind and rain for the whole night, so I had to use my Rain Sleeve to try and protect the camera. I always find it a bit fiddly to use the controls when the sleeve is on, so I struggled to make setting changes as quickly as I normally do. Something else which was very annoying was that my wireless transceivers (for shutter release) didn't work 'in the field'. I tested them before I went out, so the only reason I can think of is that I got some water in the hotshoe of my camera. They worked again the next morning, so just a temporary issue. Anyway, that meant I was manually holding the shutter open for the pictures I also took, some of which are included in the clip.

Anyway, enough excuses, here's the clip:

The other problem could be that the auto focus could not operate
