]]> Carrying on from part one (I took a lot of photos!), let’s get straight back to 23rd Bath (Avonvale) Scouts Fireworks at your Fence 2021.

At this point, there were more fireworks set off locally, which photobombed my pictures – I think it compliments them quite well!

This mini display didn’t last long, so I was able to reset the camera zoom to focus back on Fireworks at your Fence.

Another fantastic fireworks display, and I must admit I really love the Fireworks at your Fence idea, especially as I was able to get such a great view!

]]> With the main fireworks display at the Rec being cancelled again this year, I was pleased to see that both Larkhall Athletic and 23rd Bath (Avonvale) Scouts both had displays this year. The Scouts’ display followed last year’s idea of Fireworks at your Fence which meant that plenty of people could get a really good view, without too many people all gathering together.

I had the camera set up behind the window, so there is a little ‘double image’ effect from the double glazing!

Maybe next year I’ll have the camera settings sorted (I think the ISO was too high) – the coloured fireworks came out fine, but the bright white elements are a little too bright!

There’s something about the “squiggles” in this photo that make me think of electricity….

That’s only half of my photos, so hop over to part two to see the rest!

]]> With most of the firework displays being called off this year, the 23rd Bath (Avonvale) Scouts had a clever solution – Fireworks at your Fence! They had a single firework set off 30 minutes and 15 minutes before the display started, which came in handy when I realised I didn’t have my camera set up at quite the right angle

Adjusting the angle, and zooming out a little (just in case), I resisted the temptation to take photos of the other private fireworks “displays” happening nearby, in readiness for Fireworks at your Fence to begin!

It was a fantastic display, and I had the best view of any fireworks display I’ve seen in years (I prefer to watch them from a distance anyway). I was able to stay indoors and get these photos through the window, which makes it even better!

So huge thank yous to the 23rd Bath (Avonvale) Scouts for making Fireworks at your Fence such a great event!
