challenge

drinking a few glasses of wine with dinner, and yet more (on a hot weekend after all) into the evening, wasn't the best preparation for a first attempt at shooting fireworks...still when a friend offered to drive down to the event, I couldn't resist the challenge

Nikon D90
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1s f/6.3 at 48.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto
