thanks for youur comments
LaRee : I used the illuminations programme on the GH1
JadeO: the fireworks show is held every year during the festival and the opening sequence is different every year and then most of the fireworks are high in the sky. So getting something to give size is a problem.
Dodrizzt: I have a grand stand view from the Matthew as she is a featured vessel in local Harbour Festival. but a view from a small window add to the problems
Mepo It was also handheld ...... just leaned hard on the ships frame

Great fireworks play, although the uninteresting buildings at the background spoil a bit the effect; wonder how would have it looked on a more distant view, with more water reflections, although being at 28mm focal lenght I assume you could't go back much more. Nice pic anyway :-)

Not the best backdrop, but the fireworks are spectacular!

I'm not a fan of the dead centre composition but the lighting and exposures look quite good; these can often be quite difficult to capture this well. I also like the use of a structure to give a sense of orientation and scale which are often missing in fireworks shots.

Great timing - super shot. Mr Fawkes would be proud.

Normal program? I'd never in a million years would think that a firework shot could be captured so well using program mode. This came out very well. In my favorites for sure.
