Just catch a few lightnings from my balcony (not the best place to take photos) but these are also my first try of lightnings :)
Hope You like them

Thanks for kind words.

My first fireworks. (somehow cant change the title)

Really hard. First I was thinking that Im too close, but when first came out, I thought that Im too far. Zoomed little bit in, thou I just somehow missed the few bigger ones.
Photos where taken near my house, and the only way I could shoot was against sunset. And it was bit too windy and towards to me.
I was shooting with f13.

C&C are most welcome

I like the distance because one gets a better perspective :)
