This morning I went to clear my camera when I realised that some of the images I took at last nights firework display, hadn’t transferred. Among all the appalling shots, I did quite like the following ones because of their colours and shapes.
The first shot below, a close up firework shot was taken when I had the camera set to the wrong ISO at 400, it also used a 2 second exposure time so I am not sure how it actually came out so clear. I guess the more practice I get, the more I will understand how shots evolve…
I absolutely love this next shot, it reminds me of a flowing horse main or a tidal wave. I especially like the rusty colour, but also decided to mess around with hues in Photoshop to produce the second image in purple. The original shot, taken as seen below, was shot at a 149mm focal length, ISO 100 and 3 second exposure at f/11.

Finally I just love the neon glow of colours in this shot, especially how the smoke captures the colour too. This image was also shot at ISO 400, so I assume there would be more detail where the white flashes are, if I had remembered to lower it before hand! Focal length was 70mm and a 4 second exposure time.
All images taken on my Canon 350 (EOS Digital Rebel).
