I wish you all a Happy New Year.

I had prepared so well for the fireworks with my camera. But then came – almost nothing.

That was so disappointing, because I was looking forward to good photos.

Apparently most people bought firecrackers, which make hellish noise to greet the new year, but are unfortunately nothing to photograph.

Unfortunately the fireworks this time were very far away. Last year I had it right in front of my house. This time I only had the stupid firecrackers in front of my house.

Next time I will put definitely my bigger lens to the side, so that I can change fast. I think with 100mm or even more I would have got better photos.

If you want to know which settings I had on the camera, here are the dates:

Camera: Canon 5DII
Lenses: 24-70 2.8L
Focal length: 70mm
Iso: 100
Exposure time: 6 seconds
