Last night was riverfire, a celebration of our Brisbane river every year letting off 30min of fireworks. My band is very lucky as we have a few members that are part of the maritime museum. So we give a concert and then get the lovely privilege to stay for the fireworks without needing to squish into southbank.

My camera is a panasonic lumix tz15 (a nice point and shoot). Andrew got it for me (after I did the research) last year just before riverfire as my old canon ixus 430 had decided that it wanted to die (after 6 years of heavy use). This year I had the chance to read the manual a little more and find features to control the more manual settings (though the automatic fireworks setting does an amazing job too). I ditched the tripod this year and still about 90% of the photos turned out nice and clear so I got to choose the ones that I thought were interesting. I probably should go back through all and find ones I can reframe and make a little more interesting.
