Tried my first effort at fireworks at the Burning of the Clocks. Hand-held. I'll take a tripod next time, although the huge number of people on the seafront may prevent any sensible possibility of this at this particular event.

Nice shot Graeme

I completely forgot about the fireworks otherwise I would have been down there too.

Lovely photo of the fireworks.
I'm looking to get a macro lens for my camera. Love close up photography.

Thanks Al. You need to take up your position really early, as it's three or four people deep and you can't see a thing, except the fireworks.

hahahaha.
Made me laugh. I got loads of photos of that cow
It kept posing. It was huge. Got a nice close-up of its nose.

Was it muddy up on the beacon? Great pics once again

Hee hee.

Awesome view that.

The stadium looks fantastic in your shot from that angle/distance.

Just crop the bloody cow out, or scare it off

It wasn't to bad, it was dry on the floor and no horrible puddles. But was rather brisk.
Thanks again. I will add some more soon.

That's very kind of you to say so.
Please feel free.

This is probably my favourite photo I have taken. Is a red-necked phalarope taken in Iceland earlier in the year.
It was a wild bird and a bit nervous so I was pleased to manage to get this shot

Many thanks. You have a fantastic talent.
