and I really wanted the Spinnaker Tower in the shot as well as the silhouettes of the spectators.
If your experience is like mine, it'll be a challenge to get much different next year, be interesting to see then.
1, 4 and 5 are my favourites there I think - I had a similar effect as 2 on some of mine due to the wind on the night, and personally I prefer the clearer 'light track' effect when that isn't there.
The good thing about this venue is the different possibilities to position the camera, I was across the harbour this year but there is plenty of ground around the tower to try. I'll find out next year if they can deliver more interesting images.
I prefer the "Cleaner" ones too. They are the best timed shots.

Yes, I'm sure that would work well .. anyway, its always good to revisit places and events taking different lenses, you get very different perspectives.

No 2 is a brilliant effect! Almost looks like 'shutter drag'. I know you wanted to keep the reference point of the tower there, but I do feel the fireworks lose some impact as a result, and it would be better to crop in more, or have shot zoomed in more.
Obviously you have to make your decisions beforehand and I should have used a 24mm instead of the 35. I'll get my positioning better next year. Might have to try and get underneath the tower.

Taken from Gosport Ferry across the water to Gunwharf Quays.

Any thoughts?

It rarely uses the maxsima up, it'll do about 500 pics (raw + jpg) and cost about £15 from Amazon.
I've had it for about 9 months now and still going strong, Bargain!
