You're right - my mistake.... Of course, what I REALLY meant is, if I DID ever make a mistake with a shot, I'd want it to come out looking that good :-D . (Honest!).

It is firework season in the UK and I am the proud new owner of a Nikon D5200 - put them both together and what do you get? Well i stood in the wrong place and used the wrong lens (telephoto) - i was far to close to where the fireworks were exploding however i did end up with some abstract looking shots. All critique and criticism gratefully received. Thank you!


What a great shot. If you cannot find any other way to use this photo, it would make a terrific background. Use some radial blur (spin or zoom), perhaps a Gaussian blur with different colors, maybe use it to render clouds for yet another background. OR, just leave it like it is and call it camera art.

Thank you Nightski, it is certainly different to what i usually take and very different to how i saw the fireworks photos in my head

Well, if you make a mistake, it's pretty cool when it turns out like this. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think it a pretty interesting and fun image.

I like it. I think I would experiment with different colors or WB to see if there is a series in these shots.
