Killerpix Photocontest - Festival Fireworks over the Castle

This week's killerpix photocontest theme is fireworks! Yes! I love fireworks, always have! Photographing fireworks is tricky though and I've had a few opportunities to shoot them in the last few years so I'd like to think I've had some practice :) But really, every time you shoot fireworks it's pretty much a shot in the dark.. To get the lines from the fireworks you need to have exposure times of at least 0.5 seconds or more depending on what you are after, so timing of your shots is key, and often total guesswork!

Anyway, this is a shot of fireworks being let off over Edinburgh Castle which I quite like so I am submitting it to this weeks #killerpix photocontest.
