Fireworks

To those of you who know me, no, this is NOT a dandelion seedhead, LOL!!! Last night, I went with a friend who had kindly invited me to go to the first night of Globalfest 2007 fireworks. Each night, the International Fireworks Competition holds breathtaking firework displays choreographed to music, launched from Elliston Park. The synchronization of fireworks and music and the reflection of fireworks on Elliston Lake were spectacular. When I took two or three experimental photos using Night mode on my old Olympus camera, all I got was blur! So, expecting little, I was very happily surprised to find that some of my photos did turn out OK. I'll try not to bore you with TOO many photos - will spread them out!

Two nights ago, I went with a friend who had kindly invited me to go to the first night of Globalfest 2007 fireworks. Each night, the International Fireworks Competition holds breathtaking firework displays choreographed to music, launched from Elliston Park. The synchronization of fireworks and music and the reflection of fireworks on Elliston Lake were spectacular. When I took two or three experimental photos just before it got dark, using Night mode on my old Olympus camera, all I got was blur! So, expecting little, I was very happily surprised to find that some of my photos did turn out OK. I'll try not to bore you with TOO many photos - will spread them out!

I know everything is "wrong" about this photo (that bright red blur, etc.) but it still reminds me of the atmosphere on Friday night!

The white is rather too dazzling, but I liked the reflection in the lake.

Yet another "big bang! Each night, the Globalfest 2007 International Fireworks Competition holds breathtaking firework displays choreographed to music, launched from Elliston Park.

Not a particularly spectacular explosion, but I just liked the shape of it and the trail of tiny, gleaming dots.
