    Weston Super Mare (again)

    Another firework display down at Weston last night. It started relatively early and so there is still some colour in the sky which is a little unusual and helps to compensate for the somewhat uninspiring view (a stretch of mud may have its attractions, but they are limited!).

    That's some good work John and having a little bit of light does make all the difference as does viewing on Flickr for all the lovely detail

    Cheers,
    John

      the second is particularly good with the bursts on the diagonal

        Prefer the lighter sky in the first but agree with Stan that the second has better composition. May be worth lifting the blacks and shadows slightly on the second.

          ColytonJohn, Stan & Swanny- thanks for looking and commenting - I am much encouraged. Particular thanks the ColytonJohn who was good enough to give me some initial guidance on the appropriate settings for fireworks - I think I might just be getting the hang of it now!

          I have taken on board the suggested changes (uplift on blacks and shadows and also a slight increase in the brightness of the sky), see below - I think it is an improvement.

                Those are all fantastic shots John, seems you've nailed that genre then

                  Thank you for the vote of confidence Alan - what I want now is a rather grander display with larger sky bursts - I may have to try the firework championships at Plymouth.
