I possibly arrived a bit too early but it did at least mean I secured a bench.17:45:23
Brought along some English sparkling (which seemed appropriate for fireworks) - Coolhurst's Lady Elizabeth, and a pizza.17:55:16
At this earlier stage of the evening there was the occasional one off firework here and there but I could never react quickly enough to get a photo of any of them.17:56:27
So instead here's just lots of dark blurry shots of the London skyline.
17:57:29
I had brought along a little tripod and tried a few shots using the Night Sight mode on my phone, but it didn't really help much.17:57:50
18:00:33
18:04:29
A picture of the bottle with the flash on. I hardly ever use the flash.
18:06:04
Managed to capture a few bits of fireworks in this video.18:06:32
18:08:34
Looking over towards Highgate instead.18:08:48
Lots of people out on the heath tonight.
18:17:13
First actual photo of any fireworks! Hardly going to win any photography prizes but it took all this time even to get this.18:18:21
Nice silhouettes here - thanks largely to the man in the hat.18:20:54
For some reason I used time lapse here, which made no sense whatsoever.18:21:59
Another ill thought out time lapse video.
18:22:30
This video has the slight interest of the Hampstead Heath constabulary car driving past.18:32:18
Lots of fireworks here, but why time lapse again?18:38:07
Very extreme Night Sight brightened shot making it look like it had got lighter suddenly.18:46:37
Decent bunch of fireworks here, albeit the video blurry and out of focus in places.
18:48:03
Took a picture of myself. Note I wore a tie to keep my neck warm.18:48:03
18:49:19
More fireworks caught on video.19:05:54
Somebody (against the rules) lighting a firework on the heath.
19:15:23
I then had a run where I managed to actually get some reasonable-ish still photos of fireworks.19:15:27
Well they're not great but you can definitely see fireworks.19:15:28
19:15:29
19:15:30
I quite like the silhouettes in the foreground.19:15:31
This one was reminiscent of the English sparkling I was drinking.19:32:03
I decided I wanted a break from sparkling, and a change of scenery, so a little later on went and sat in a different spot for a glass of Burgundy instead.19:41:30
I like the silhouettes from the pine trees here.
19:56:06
More fireworks.19:56:06
19:56:10
I inthk these came out reasonably well.19:56:12
19:56:13
19:56:14
19:56:15
19:56:31
This really isn't bad.
19:56:32
19:56:33
19:57:02
Errr... not sure why I kept this photo.19:57:03
19:57:04
19:57:13
20:03:19
20:03:21
20:03:22
20:03:49
One last video.20:33:22
OK time to go home!
