Wow, pretty well spot-on I'd say. And the drifting of the sparks really adds a nice dimension to them.

Great shots Craig. I was hoping to catch a few too, but we didn't get fireworks, we got a bucket load of rain instead lol

Wonderful - as Pete mentioned, the drifting sparks add a wonderful dimension Craig

Were you shooting hand held or tripod?

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

Fine shots.

During olympics closing ceremony a bridge with fine views of stadium (by Bow church) was packed with pro photographers and camera crews who couldn't come by tickets.
There was this pro gent Canon 1D3 (i think) who had set it up to remotely fire every ten seconds. He nonchalantly chatted away whilst i furiously fiddled with my camera to get a shot.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your very kind comments, as always they are very much appreciated!

I shot these using a weighted tripod with the mirror lock-up activated on camera and a remote release. Basically eveything i cold do to reduce camera shake.
