This is from a batch of photographs taken at the 'Spitfire Proms' at Saltram House on 26th August 2006. This was my first attempt at taking photos of firework displays and I was fairly pleased with this shot. It was pretty much guesswork taking the photos because I could not see through the viewfinder as I took the shots. I was almost directly in front of the display so the camera had the lens pointed skywards! Once the camera settings were done I just had to hope that I was getting the exploding fireworks in the frame. Focus was on infinity and exposure was approximately 8 seconds.
