Outdoor Photography - If you only do one thing this month

I entered Outdoor Photography's November challenge to shoot fireworks and I am delighted to learn that 3 of my images have been selected as runners up.

My images have been published in the February 2009 issue number 110.

Taken at the British Fireworks Championships in Plymouth. Plymouth Sound and the Hoe provide a natural amphitheatre for the displays.

I have been going to the championships for several years and for this submission I decided to enter images concentrating on "abstract" parts of the display rather than the full effect.

My congratulations to Diana Walker who is the winner of the challenge.

Have you noticed that on many web sites when you select a thumbnail image to enlarge, a vista look and feel window opens and expands to the size of the larger image.
