It had to be done, the fireworks.

The National Fireworks Championships were held again in Plymouth Sound (on Mountbatten Pier) on Wed/Thurs night, as have been for Donkey's years. I have never taken firework shots ever so last night was my very first attempt, it never really interested me, seen that many on the news at the New Year celebrations etc..
So not to be a boring old fart......
Shots SOOC but for a cropped couple.( I am not going to faff with these, not my cup of tea) although they could be brightened somewhat.

It's always good to have something other than the fireworks themselves in the photo, as you have in yours. I went to a few local fireworks displays, but there's nothing around that would look good included in the images.
