Loud explosions going off in every direction can only mean one thing...Bonfire night. One of my favourite times of the year because there is nothing better than gathering around with a few friends to admire the colourful spectacle of the fireworks. I haven't photographed fireworks in a long time, so I took the chance to do so tonight. For this shoot I used a 10.5 mm fisheye lens on my favourite camera the Nikon D810. The reason for using such a wide angle lens was to capture as much of the display as possible. When photographing fireworks it is best to use a shutter speed of a few seconds, for example I used a shutter speed of "2.5" seconds. Having my shutter speed at only just over 2 seconds meant that the photographs wouldn't be blurry when hand held as I didn't have a tripod with me. But it was long enough to capture more than one fire work at a time. I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the wonderful fireworks tonight or sometime this weekend but if not, photographs from tonight will be added shortly.
