Star FlowersI was lucky enough to visit the Auchencairn Guy Fawkes Fireworks Display on 5th November 2017. The weather being extremely good - no rain, no cloud, and only modestly cold - I thought I'd have a go at photographing fireworks, a task I have never seriously attempted before. I read up a bit about how to do it and this link is pretty good ==> Darren Rose at https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-photograph-fireworks/. I visited the site before nightfall and found what I thought was a good position. I prepared my camera before leaving, setting, in particular, manual focus at infinity, lens stabilisation off, f/8 as a probable "good" aperture, Manual mode not Av and not Tv modes, but with a Tv to be set at 4 seconds initially, and a 2 second delay in shutter activation, ISO at 100, and long exposure noise reduction on AUTO. I set up the camera with its 24-105 mm lens arranged in portrait mode on my trusty tripod and waited for the show to begin. Thereafter, I spent an intense 10-1
