A few firework shots taken in Benalmadena Marina Spain last night, no tripod but used the roof of a car and managed to set off the alarm, not so easy photos to take, all taken with my Pentax 18-250 ISO 800-1600 Aperture priority various F:stops, comments welcome. Jack.

Thanks Stefan, very hard to get right, there strait out the camera with no manipulation apart from resizing for upload, that's the K20 for you,

I admire your work Jack certainly since i know now that's straight out of the camera but why not do some PP to make it better?

Nice shots Jack, agree with Stefan re last two.

My fav... no 2, it's superb, would look great printed big and up on a wall.

(maybe, if anything, would crop to a square format, cutting off bottom bit, just my thoughts )

I take your points lads and very welcome, It's not the type of photos to get a lot of practice with and I do have a few more so i might play about with them and see what I can do, Jack

Nice, #1 and #3 for me I bet they'd get even better if you used a tripod. Colours are fantastic!
Kind regards,
