Fireworks at the Puhoi domain to celebrate Guy Fawkes night. This was my first attempt at fireworks photos. I learnt many lessons such as how easy it is for the fireworks to get cut off by the edge of the frame - that ruined a lot of good shots!

Really liked this one and feel that it is among the underrated images. How it got below a 5 is beyond me. Silly voters. I'll never understand them. I had it as a 6.
Hmmm. Not here's an interesting take on the challenge. Nice timing on the shutter release. Will be interested in reading your comments on this when the challenge is finished for some details. Good luck in the challenge.
Nice clean shot of a fireworks display, and the traces do show the pattern formed by the wind to some degree (though I suspect gravity plays a part, too.)
