Fireworks spectacular & red arrows display
 

So, it was the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta this week, and I took my shiney new Panasonic FZ-28 out to take some pictures, and take some pictures I did.

First up, the opening night fireworks display:

I did them as a slide show since there are so many, plus you get to appreciate them more when you watch the rocket go up, explode, and then see explosion grow and fizzle out (bit like a supernova). There are 326 images in total, so feel free to grab a couple beers and sit back, or flick through the album and take a look at the best shots- all shot with the burst mode setting (~10fps) except the last few that were done on a a slower shutter speed of about 2 seconds.

Heres a quick taster:

Got a few more fireworks pictures from the final night, but its a much shorter slideshow, done with some long exposure times- some really impressive shots captured.
