Hi,
this was a classic case of wrong place right time -
The early session fireworks were set off from a different place than expected and I was a 'bit' (understatement) close , felt the rumbles, smelt the smoke, and a bit deaf ...so a quick change to the 17-55 & hand held while lying on back at least gave me a couple of shots ...next year I'll be wiser
But still a fun experience ...




only 364 days till I get another go ...
Happy New Year all

Excellent shots for hand held.
I had a similar problem last year, but I was able to move for the midnight version.

I really miss the Skyshow fireworks...

Yup they lose the impact being that close

Some nice shots here Deb. I like the result in number two. The frame works well with the subject, and also think the smoke in number 3 adds a great element to the image. Smoke is usually a hinderence when taking fireworks but in this case I think it adds impact.

I went about 6 years ago and it was one of the best displays of fireworks I have encounted. laying back on the banks of the river looking skyward with the fireworks exploding directly above your head and feeling the impact of the explosion. Much like being on a boat in Sydney Harbour on New Years I presume

Again great shots for a hand held
