Village Fireworks Welcome in 2013

Filmed with the Nikon S9050. Yes, it even has a firework setting. All that does is lock the focus on infinity so there is one thing less to worry about. Video is as filmed apart from cutting out some blank sessions between fireworks, hand held, shooting through the bedroom window.




Penny wasn't too happy and found a dark corner the get out of the way. Afterwards it took some persuading for her to come back in the lounge. She crept in very slowly, looking around to make sure there were no nasty whizz bangs hiding there waiting to get her.

I see that the Nikon will be on offer again on Amazon UK starting at 5.40 p.m. GMT - look for 'Today's Lightning Deals'. It has many good points. Its main failing is its poor results in low light. Also, unless you buy a different charger the one supplied will only charge the battery while it is in the camera.

A Good Start to 2012 + Fireworks

Bobby's new medication seems to be doing its job. He slept like a peaceful baby for much of the day, enjoyed a car ride to fill it up with petrol and had three short walks. Though I felt shattered for most of the day I decided to stay up to see if there would be any fireworks in the village at midnight. This time I had adjusted the camcorder before the event instead of leaving it to the last moment like previous years. I was surprised just how many people seem to have had a firework display to welcome in the New Year and I took about six minutes of video. This is a short selection made by overlaying two different sections of the video to make it a bit more colourful. Fortunately the camcorder doesn't show just how deafening some of them were. It is a good job that Bobby takes little notice of such noises.



Once all the excitement died down we both retired to get a good night's rest.
My very best wishes to all for a happy, peaceful 2012 and many thanks for the good wishes which have been left for Bobby.
