Every summer we get the social season of events from Ascot, Wimbledon and Henley Regatta to air shows festivals and Proms in the Park. All these events seem to sign themselves off with a massive display of fireworks which makes a spectacular finale. This shot was taken with a normal little pocket digital camera with the flash turned off and just shooting into the sky. As it was so dark, the time delay on the shutter meant I was lucky to get the shot I wanted but I am rather pleased withe result, I think it looks like a giant allium head.

Big wheel keep on turning

This is a shot of the London Eye at night on the capitals South Bank… with a difference! This thing looks so fantastic at night but as it moves so slowly I decided to add a bit of my own movement into the shot by taking a long exposure and twisting the camera during the shot. The blue lights in the trees add to the ‘Close Encounters’ effect of the finished image, pure luck but a nice photo I think.
