There is fire in the sky tonight x







So my flat was a bustling hub of activity this firework night.... I think not. Three of us were indoors participating in watching the fireworks for free from our entrance way. I was frantically moving my camera and Gorilla pod (small bendable tripod thing) around, adjusting the exposure to try to get some cool shots. I managed to take about 50 in total before they fizzled out and I've posted some of my personal favourites above.I'll definitely be playing with long exposure again in the near future. What did you get up to this Bonfire Night? x
