Last weekend I had a go at photographing the fireworks on Southend seafront. It was fun and spurred me to try again and improve from the lessons learned. You can read about that experience here. So I head down again this evening and had another go. The weather was much better this evening - dry and …
Southend Fireworks
A quick trip out tonight to have a go at photographing fireworks. Southend Council put on a free firework display on the seafront every Saturday night through November (at least) so there is plenty of opportunity. It was dry - if cold - when I went but turned out to be very windy on the …
