Lord Mayor’s Show Fireworks

This is my first attempt at photographing fireworks. Had the correct equipment with me this time - tripod and cable-release.

All of the images were shot using a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens.

A strong breeze was blowing from the south giving it a nice sweeping effect.

And I am pleased with the results.

St Paul's Cathedral - A Photomatix Rendition

The result is bad due to camera shake and photomatix not processing the images on camera with the correct exposure bracketing. The importance of using a remote shutter release while shooting in low light conditions is greatly recommended.

Some photos - too much to capture in only one day

New Lens

Yesterday I splashed out on a new lens. A Nikon 50mm f/1.4 to be exact.

Here are a few photos.
