153/365 # Remember remember

Me and Lydia took Joe and Ben to the seafront tonight to watch the fireworks, I took loads of shots of the fireworks going off, but most of them were rubbish because of the slow shutter speed I had to use.

 

I had this sort of idea to combine some of the fireworks shots with a ghetto lit shot . . . it doesn't really work but whatever - it's November 5th! Let's have a larf and a bit of fun.

 

The fireworks bit is three seperate shots overlaid each other, and I duplicated each layer to make it look brighter. And it's business as usual for the shot of me, just my weird circular light thing shone in my face. I did shoot using ISO 400, which made a difference and I got a much better exposed shot for it. Although I admit I did this by accident, I'd upped the ISO to take shots of the fireworks and forgot to change it back.

 

Hope you all enjoy/enjoyed your fireworks night - I have a feeling a lot of my American buddies have had a fun 24 hours!

 

I had to explain to Joe tonight that the 5th November is actually a celebration of an attempted murderer . . . is it just me that finds that a little weird?
