Hi all,

I was at Canberra's Skyfire show last night. First time I've tried to take photos of fireworks. Took lots of photos but these are the only ones I think are ok. Any thoughts?

Nice stuff Baboo

I have some similar shots to post up too from this event. (soon)

I think (like me) your apperture may have been a little high. Were you at F22? I think next time i shoot fireworks i will go down to about F18?
