Happy New Year!

In line with my goal to CREATE more, I decided to take pictures of fireworks! Yeah!

I don't usually go out on New Year's Eve because I'm asthmatic, plus, I'm afraid of stray bullets. But I decided to do so this year just so I can take pictures. I stayed out on the second floor balcony. The view wasn't really that clear as it was cloudy that night. And the fireworks were a bit far away. Good thing, my camera had pretty decent zoom.

I thought it would be easy to take pictures but it was actually frustrating! I had to zoom in, and get the timing right. Which was really hard!!! I used the fireworks preset on my camera and it was a bit slow in processing the pictures. Anyway, here are some of my attempts (I had LOTS!!!):

Difficulty getting them into the frame and timing's off:





I really couldn't get the explosions at the right time




Here's some success. This one's a bit nearer but blocked by some trees and power lines. Didn't have to fiddle with the zoom:



Happy New Year! I had some lucky shots and I uploaded them on Starry-Eyed Photos :)
