Mr alder reminded me that the carols by candlelight was on at Speers Point, with fireworks at 9.30pm, so I rushed over to Teralba (left home at 9:15 got there and set up with 3 minutes spare then they started. I didnt get the best of images due to lack of setup time, but hey you get what you can.

ISO 200, 15 second exposures, canon 350D non modded with Sigma 18-200 lens on tripod and being eaten alive by mozzies:lol:

Wow! Fantastic shots Houghy!!!! :eyepop: Numbers 2 & 3 are my favourites.

Even the stars look great.

P.S. No mozzies down here. Too cold for them I suppose.
