First attempt at photographing fireworks (6images 440kb total)

Took the camera along to the fireworks on Sunday night and came away with these. There not particularly sharp, as I couldn't use my tripod (three 5 year olds in tow !!). Taken in RAW, shutter speed between 1-3 secs.

I surely do like the one with meteor written on it.
Well done indeed.

Very good Ian especially since no tripod. I also like the Meteor shot but think the third shot is the strongest from the fireworks. I would incresed the saturation a touch for the whole shot and then increase just the blues to make those fireworks balance more with the more obvious yellow/whites.

For handheld I think they are excellent with number three the best imo.

Never an easy subject so well done Ian, a very creditable first attempt.

Cheers,

Great shots, ian. I like #3 too, but I'd be pleased with any of them. Well done.
