Corby Fireworks 2011 - Spectacular

While most of Corby's residents had to trek across to the Lakes to watch the annual Corby fireworks, all I had to do was open my front door! Very lucky here, being in an elevated position overlooking the town and about a mile away from where they were being launched. I just set up the camera on the front path and snapped away ... Most of the pictures were taken at f11 with a 10 second exposure, (a couple were f11 at 15 seconds). During one of the exposures, I accidentally kicked the bottom of the tripod - Can you see which one? Is taking pictures of fireworks the ONLY long exposure photography where kicking the tripod brings out a decent result? :-)


Anyway ... Here are some of the shots, (more can be found on my facebook profile).
