The QE2 fireworks display was as usual impressive to watch, and tricky to shoot. We couldn’t move far enough along to frame things nicely. For these I came up with a crazy idea. I used an ND grad over the fireworks to darken them so I could get a brighter exposure on the Liverpool skyline. It worked. In other news I relaunched my portfolio the other day. Its got some great free desktops that I’m sure you’ll all love.
