    Default boom, bang, pow!!!!!

    i was just about to retire for the evening, last night, around 10-50p.m. thinking about getting up at 5-20am for my shift at work, i heard an almighty bang. i thought something had exploded. my dog went berserk. the first bang was followed by several others. fireworks!!!!.... someone nearby was obviously celebrating something or other. well, this was not your ordinary few fireworks fired up from a party. i was treated to a quite spectacular display, set off by someone who knew how to put on a show.......and a very expensive one at that. it lasted a good 10 minutes or so. i shot a bit of video, but still dont know how to uploasd to the forum. this was one of the explosions i managed to capture through my bedroom window.

    Pretty spectacular Andy.

    Best bet is to put it on youtube and link to it using the youtube button in the advanced post menu. Just put the number in between the code.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
