Went to see the end-of-Festival fireworks last night and managed to take a few snaps. But it’s the last time I’m going to continually photograph an entire fireworks display. Not just because inevitably, at least two-thirds of them come out looking total crap, but also because it’s not easy trying to check you’re doing OK photographing them without missing out on all the fun. In the rush to document more and more of my life on Flickr I’ve started to realise that I might be missing out on it altogether…

I really liked this one, so thanks for that. You’re right that you’d have been better off just watching, but it’s nice for the rest of us…

Yeah I know where you’re coming from - I’ve decided the same thing for concerts. It’s not so much fun watching the show on a 1″ LCD!
