Is that Swanage?

Yes, it is, I'm impressed! My home town.

I was there 04/08/2007 for the end of the Swanage Carnival week or something like that.

I used to live there back in the eighties for a while, really nice place.

Still visit the area, mate who I shared a place with in Swanage lives in Corfe now.

Is a triptych allowed? if not, let me know and I'll replace it with a single image.

This is my first real attempt at taking 'fireworks' pics. I wasn't sure what shutter speed to use to capture them exploding. Unfortunately, anything slower than this made the smoke stand out even more, and obscured the fireworks - shame there wasn't a bit more breeze.

Of course! and what a spectacular one it is

Spooky - that was the night the photos were taken! I took some on the Wednesday night too, but we didn't have a very good view. When I was a kid, I remember that the very last firework used to say 'Goodnight Swanage' in pink! Wish they still did that.

I think it's a nice place too, but I suppose I'm biased!

This one was taken earlier this year at Kirkistown Race Track on the Ards Penninsula. My mate races an MK Indy called 'Lucy' and I have got to know a few on the circut. This is Richard Morgan in his Caterham 7. He usually wipes the floor with anyone!

I was reading an article in a photomag at the time and this is the crop and rotation it suggested to give the shot more impact. Not sure if it works or not.

You can see more of these on my website if you are interested at http://richardcrowe.co.uk/55p/
