Fireworks at Blyth

Last minute decision to go to the fireworks display at Blyth Beach on Guy Fawkes night. I wasn't sure where they were getting set off from, so just made my way onto the beach and walked towards the general area. As it turns out I ended up too close and lots were exploding above my head. I had the D FA 28-105 with me, but should have used the 15-30. So had to shoot in portrait mode unfortunately. All taken with the K-1

Superb set of images. Atmospheric.

Well fettled. Another trophy for the cabinet.

Best regards

Lovely set, the wet sand has added a lovely lead in.
3rd last and last one for me, but they're all great.
What kind of settings do you need for fireworks ?
I never get a chance to try this as its usually our busiest night of the year.

Very dramatic and colourful - despite you taking the 'wrong' lens.

I've always used something around 3s exposure for firework shots. And I usually take too long a lens as well.

I always think the foreground helps with firework shots in general and with these in particular - my local displays have nothing in that regard, so I haven't been out shooting for 3-4 years until I can motivate myself to go to another location.

Another fine set! I like the 3rd, 4th and landscape format ones best. Love the effect of the wind blowing left to right taking the 'smoke' and glow with it.

Super stuff... great set as ever...

I think the portrait aspect suits this set perfectly - the main attraction is firmly linked to the base it came from, rather than being isolated in space, adding a good sense of perspective and a feeling of being there. I'm sure anyone would be chuffed to bits to produce firework images like these!

Good stuff! Nice set

Thanks very much guys. Sorry I haven't been on since posting these.
