Fireworks

[paulmurphy]

The other thing that happens this time of year in the UK is firework displays.

The local council had one at Blyth on Sunday, heres a couple of shots. A700 with KM 17-35mm on a tripod, cable release, set on B, manual focus.







I tried to capture some of the excitement and movement that you get at a display.

Definitely a dramatic way to capture them! Nice reletively long exposures!

Those are so DIFFERENT from most farks pix.

That makes it interesting, the inclusion of the silhouetted audience, adds a kind of extra relevance.

Glad you pointed that out Don! I really like the soft highlights on all the heads and shoulders in the audience.

The most interesting fireworks images I have seen...superb.

[Dr. Harout]

Two thumbs up

[Birma]

Great pictures Murph. I, like those above, like the crowd at the bottom of the shots. (Also a new shorthand term for me from DK; "farks"!)

[Ian C]

Awesome! Those are fantastic! thanks for sharing

[paulmurphy]

Thanks to all for the positive comments, I did wonder about 'farks' also.

I still find it great when others like what you do.

Cheers

ps I'm also 'chuffed' to have a picture in the gallery space in the current issue of Photoworld

'Farks' comes from doing firework displays for kids when they were too young to get the word right (in Notts not Scotland though).

And probably co-relating the word with a similar one with a difference of one letter: the 4th
