Well, it looks like we all had a grand opportunity this weekend to pander to the pyrotechnic side of our personalities...

Good choice of topic Top Totty, there've been quite a few unique and varied takes on "fire". 33 entries this weekend, a new record!

Anyway, on to the poll...

The original photos can be viewed on this thread.

I thought I'd try to put the various images all in one place, to make viewing easier. In order of submission:

a late submission, but only by a few minutes...so we'll be flexible , but don't let it happen again!

David Bracher:

I think you've missed off James A's photo.

Ta. With all the chatter in the submissions thread this week, it's been a right royal pain in the backside to get all the photos listed, particularly if they were posted via a link and not included as an image. I think they've all been accounted for now.

Sorry for the omission, James.

David Bracher:

I agree - Nice one Hevans

I agree, well done Hevans. With the number of entries it's much easier to have a summary.

Great entries this weekend! 

Great job hevans!! this is so much easier.

What a selection!! I think they are all good. This weekend has taught me I need more practice taking fireworks (lots and lots more) but I have enjoyed it and learnt a great deal. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me:)

I really enjoyed it TT, like i said in the rejected pics thread, i got to use the bulb exposure setting for the first time, which was great.

Plus it's the first time i ever tried to photograph fireworks and was really pleased with the results i acheived. So great topic, well done

Thanks

Sorry hevans, for causing you the problem.

Great subject TT as proved by the number of entries.

It was difficult to decide which picture to vote for due to the great submissions. Well done all.

I voted for James A as it just blew me away.

Well, if it hadn't of been you, it would have been someone else....I'll admit it's too tempting to chat in the thread (you'll notice I did it myself ) and pass comment as the pics come in, and it's nice if the comments are near the photo as well.

What really helps is if people make sure they don't "quote" the photo into their post and if people can post the photo so it is viewable in the thread and not as a link to the photo - then it really is easy to lose.
