Fireworks! I St Albans Photographer

Just for fun!

So here we are again in November, and that means it’s time to brush up on shooting fireworks again – not something that you do every day!

Last year I came away from Bonfire Night with my Christmas wish list – a wide angle lens and a better tripod!  This year – check!  So I was in good shape and I’m pretty pleased with how these came out!

For those who are interested in the technical details, I shot these all on manual and bulb setting, f18 and ISO 200 at a variety of shutter speeds varying from 1.5-14 seconds.

Enjoy!

    Lovely colors – especially purple. I only ever shoot fireworks in the summer. Do you think that the colder weather helps a bit?

    Great job Claire! I’ve never managed to shoot fireworks as Theo is still scared of the noise and hides behind me. Maybe next year!

A weekend in Lisboa, Portugal I Travel Photography

We have been to Portugal many times as a family since having children, but always to the Algarve.  We see a little of the beautiful beaches and scenery, and sample some of the local delicacies, but I must admit it is mostly a relax-by-the-pool type of break.  Nothing...
