Yesterday night there was Scottish Firework Championships taking place at Ocean Terminal. We missed first show but there were two more to come. The cold weather and wind kept people indoors so we had good place to watch and photograph fireworks. The fence before sea also provided steady support for the camera.

Photographing fireworks is tricky and especially if you cannot use manual settings for exposure and focus. I was using my Canon IXUS 60 which is just a simple pocket camera. It was impossible to set exposure manually so I had to trick it a little bit. The camera shows exposure time on its display after focusing so I was able to try my luck and when I got right numbers on the screen I kept shooting with continuous mode. The down side of this method is that I took nearly 400 photos and selecting 20 best ones took some time.
