Art, or something like it

Took the nice shiny SLR along to the Petersfield Fireworks display last night after reading a bit about some tips and tricks. Couldn't use all of them - mostly because the best tips required a tripod, remote-release and (preferentially) a very wide-angle lens, none of which works well in a crowd of 3,500 other people.

So the best of these shots are 1.3 second long exposures, at low ISO numbers (100-400 as I phaffed around), and f/9-f/10. All used manual focus. Despite the obvious hand shake, I'm very happy with the way these turned out....
