Guy Fawkes Night

Hey guys,

I hope that you had a great bonfire night last night! When we were kids we always used to do something for bonfire night; It was always bigger than Halloween, and even though we went Halloween-ing when we were kids, bonfire night was a much bigger deal. We had drinks and food like soup, burgers, hotdogs and things like that, with a bonfire and plenty of fireworks of course. We’d either have fireworks at our place or go to families houses and set them off there, and sometimes neighbours had bonfires and we’d all go, it was the usual thing to do. Now it seems we’ve got a bit “Americanized” and Halloween is a bigger deal, as it has been there for a while, and they don’t have Guy Fawkes Night.

I did not really do anything, but saw some fireworks close by, and it was a chance to take a couple of photos, and give firework photography a try. I’ve never done it before, and had not planned on it, so I had to get my camera set up really quickly, and could not really experiment with settings since it was all over pretty quick. I did get a couple of interesting shots which look pretty cool, and I wrote my initial in a sparkler of course
