This year, not only did I go the overly crowded local fireworks display but my Dad invited CBC and I over to partake in fireworks and a meal with them and my sister, her husband and niece. It was a delight to see them and enjoy such fun revels but just being there together was great. My dad has been really supportive over my house-buying questions and queries which is always such a comfort!
Anyway, I had mislaid my battery charger for 2 weeks so I was super glad to finally find it on Saturday! I took a variety of fireworks photos which I am rather pleased with!
I love the corkscrew path of this one.
The bokeh effect of these two was pleasing!
This one was a complete fluke as my shutter speed was really slow and it took about 7 seconds for the camera to actually capture a picture so I had no idea what was going to come out!
This one below reminded me of a flamboyantly-dressed ballet dancer with her arms in a rather droopy 3rd position, pointing her toe to the right.
The eerie shadows of pyrotechnics made for a rather atmospheric shot!
My favourites were these Golden showers ones!
And the aftermath of a fireburst was this sky of glitter!
The drama of this one was a delight.
Swooping, soaring and fizzing in a frenetic manner, there was not a dull moment!
This flimsy-looking one was a complete contrast to the others.
After the display had finished, sparklers were sought and lighted by blowtorch!
It was rather fun to work with such a slow shutter speed!
I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did!

Yes I did! Love taking fireworks, but I know what you mean about shutter speed. It's a great voyage of discovery when you get home! Xo Jazzy Jack
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteLighting sparklers with a blowtorch seems a but like overkill ;-)
The sparklers are amazing. I will have to try it. We still have a sparklers left for NYE. x
ReplyDeleteI never tried to take fireworks photos. Yours are lovely, Kezzie. xxx

Pretty! Does CBC help you find lost things or does he lose things, too?
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I love bonfire night. I almost got hit by a firework!

Your photos look so cool! :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh I love these, they're gorgeous! I really like the bokeh effect on a few of these, and the shots of the sparklers are fun - always one of my favourite parts of bonfire night. Love the one which looked like a ballet dancer too, so pretty! - Tasha
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! Love the colors and details and your description of the ballerina! :) That's so nice that you have your dad's support and help with your financial questions. I remember how good that felt. Blessings to you and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

beautiful fireworks!!!
ReplyDeleteAww these look great! You got some lovely photo shots here Kezzie :)x
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that you even tried to take pictures of fireworks - and the results are splendid! What an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, I really like the sparkler ones. We had our usual firework display with friends but we didn't get any sparklers, we all forgot!
ReplyDeleteMy friend bought some sparklers for his little girl in Tesco, but the man behind the counter said my friend wasn't allowed to have fireworks on the shop floor, so the man had to walk with my friend to the door and then hand them over - how silly is that?! Madness!
Wonderful photos, Kezzie - and sparkler art, so much fun xx
