Nope, it was the display at IBM's Hursley Park location, near Winchester.

hey aspender,
Excellent pics! What lens were you using?

[TonyHetherington]

I really like them! I like the close crops so you have just the firework

[Phil115]

Ah ok cool. Yeah i was at the Southampton Uni one, for some reason the pics look familiar....

cheers

Thanks! The first two were with the Canon 50mm f1.8 but I quickly switched over to the 18-55 kit lens to get a bit wider.

seeing as someone else has started a fireworks thread i might aswell add my few to here.

as soon as the fireworks started i realised that i had picked quite a bad spot as i was too close to them and all the big ones were partly blocked by trees so a fair few of them were very dissapointing. here are some i like:

cheers both of you. it is surprising how easy it is to take a good photo of poi. i think i only took about 15 of the poin in total, 5 or 6 of which i am happy with.

For unknown reasons the firework display we were to attend started 30 mins early, resulting in me missing the larger of the fireworks, and having the position I wanted to take shots from being shut off.

My best out of a seriously crap bunch:

Here's one I prepared earlier - but I still like it
From the Brunel 200th Anniversary celebrations.

I love that picture Andy! The fireworks are nice, but what REALLY makes it is the people and the framing of it, and the glow that they have. Ace picture!
