    Well done Oriel. Some of the colours in your Facebook album are fab!
    Quick question. Are these shot hand-held, or on tripod?
    And what settings did you find worked best for you?

    Thank you Daz :)

    I pushed my ISO down to 200
    Shutter was between 1" and 4" exposure - most of them were shot at 2" though.
    The Aperture stayed constant at F5
    I sommer used my 18-70mm Kit lens

    I cant wait for the next one... what I'll do different: I'll try shorten the shutter as much as I can, the slightly longer exposed shots has super white whites, like in the bottom of the shot.

    The biggest challenge: trying to adjust shutter speed and aperture between shots for different brightness of fireworks. Eventually I just left the aperture alone and tried to quickly set the shutter.

    Things happen fast and unpredictable, but wow, what a rush!

    @Daz - yes, sorry, I forgot to mention - I did use a tripod, dont think one could do it without
