It is Nov 5th today Another mark in history for politics.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

Guy Fawkes Night (also known as Bonfire Night, Cracker Night, Fireworks Night) is an annual celebration on the evening of the 5th of November. It celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of the 5th of November, 1605 in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.

Well we did not have any fireworks. But also very popular are sparklers. So I tried out this effect We had a giggle trying to do this. But only had 10 sparklers. By the time I had the shutter speed set right, they were running out fast. Did not have enough to practice writing our names, but hay it was a first attempt at something different

I think you did a darn fine job, now write down those settings for next time, nice shots. and thanks for the history lesson. cd catdad · 2008-11-05: 15:30
