Not the best......

....but possibly the first.

This was taken at the kiddies' fireworks at 9pm.
Just a practice before the huge event that is Sydney Harbour on New Year's Eve.

All set up with the tripod and settings and all three batteries which had been fully charged were showing dead.

Got one to work briefly, and am hoping there's no problem for the real thing.

Happy New Year everyone.

Sydney's about to go OFF!!
