Boom

We sat on the south bank of the the River Stour this evening with hot chocolate and admired the view from Brantham. Master H was most intrigued by the three-legged contraption holding the camera on top of it and not at all bothered by the flashes and bangs. Naturally, Miss C announced a dire need for the toilet half was through the proceedings, well one of the youngsters had to.

In a flash and a bang, it was all over and we returned home. Bed for the young ones and Doctor Who for the olds.

And for next time: bulb (B) mode, f18, remote shutter controlling shutter speed (range 2-4 seconds co-ordinated with firework explosion) ISO 100. Focus to manual, and check focal length when adjusting zoom. Focus is easily adjusted inadvertently in the dark.
