Hey. Cool ones!!!
How could they have been crisper WITH a tripod?
I can't see how the sparkles in the first could have been ANY crisper, ever!?!? :scratch:
Fun idea.
Is it the "birthday lad" in the first photo?

 

[Lensmeister]

it is the birthday boy in that photo. ... He's grown up thinking that the fireworks everywhere are for him lol

Hi core_17

Guy Fawkes was a man who in 1605 tried to blow up the British Parliment

Mr. Guy Fawkes' info !

This is a good site about him and the gunpowder plot .. I remember being a kid and dressing up a smaller neighbour and making him sit in a go-cart asking
"Penny For The Guy" at the local underground / Subway station ! :mrgreen:

This year .... it there were two kids with a rough old teddy bear asking "Pound for the guy" .......... Inflation or what ? ! :mrgreen:

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Do you remember November?
Gunpowder, treason, and plot
I know of no reason why I should ever be forgot

I am just a bomber inside Parliament
Laying gunpowder and throwing the matches high
I know it's treason but I'll never apologize
Plotting one more time to bring your breached walls down

That fire is me, that effigy
See the size of the crowd that's gathered for me here
on Guy Fawkes Day

I'm all alone so blame it only on me
