Last Saturday was Guy Fawkes night, so I headed off to Battersea Park to watch the fireworks with a couple of friends. Now, I have this thing with taking photos of fireworks. I nearly always do it, and they are nearly always crap. So why bother? Have you ever seen a fireworks photo and thought "wow, that is really cool. That would look great blown up and framed." No, me neither. Yet still I do it. A couple of years ago I even went to the effort of dragging a tripod along to the Australia Day fireworks in Kings Park. Still crap. This year I settled with just my little digicam. Once again they were, well, in a word, crap. But anywhy, why have a blog if you can't share the pain of a failed photo every now and then. Sorry, but here they are .... the best of the worst.
Fireworks Photos. Enough Already.

Stick with it Dave. Vastly improved since the early days and a whole lot more creative.
