Tonight in Britain the skies will be full of smoke as people set off their firework displays...we set ours off last night as it was a dry night...one never knows living in the UK when that might happen again! :o) So armed with hot chocolate, and of course my camera we set off into the garden. I was keen to have a go at light painting with the sparklers and to capture the trails from the fireworks. All of the following pictures were taken on long exposure night setting for a 5 second exposure time...and yes, my camera was on its little tripod and I used a 2 sec timer to reduce camera shake. It is so easy now with digital cameras to have a play and get instant results.

Awesome photos!
I forget that bonfire means fireworks to you. Nice pic at the end there with the loopdelooper. Fireworks are against the law in the State of MN. Too many fools blowing body parts off while trying to use them. Sigh. Here in MN, bonfire means and actual fire, a HUGE fire to celebrate autumn harvest or a winter party, party on the beaches of Lake Superior, that sort of thing. :)
Here fireworks are illegal so I'm really jealous!
LOVE the new banner!
Great fireworks photos. Thanks for the advice on downloading photos to Blogger.
Great shots with the sparklers and all DH did that on the 4th of July here I love how they look.
What exactly is Bon Fire night for?
Very cool--I say the tripod helped--I tried to film fireworks and jumped every time. LOL.
Fantastic photos! My perfect bonfire night - looking at gorgeous fireworks from the comfort of my chair!
i'm jealous too *lol* fireworks are illegal here - too many missing body parts apparently! love your new header! and the photos are terrific toni :O)
Fanatastic photos! It looks like you're making great use of the tripod. Your photos would make a great calendar.
I like those curly-cues from your sparkler!
Bonfire night? That’s new to me!
Lovely pictures!!
The photographs are lovely Jane! We spoke to Mum on bonfire night. She was standing at her bedroom window watching the neighbor's fireworks display. She got all the beauty of the celebration with the warmth of the radiator and a cuppa tea!
Wow Jane! You've been doing such great things with your camera -- love the pics. I'm especially fond of the cute pic of the mice in the previous post teehee! Love the new blog layout too!
I was just asking one of my UK friends if Guy Fawkes night was a real thing (they mentioned it in a book I was reading), and she said it was the same thing as Bonfire night, and then here you post about it. Small world. :)
