Fireworks at the Quays

I had been waiting for fireworks night for a long time so that I could capture some slow shutter shots like this one. It is a shame the fireworks weren't being fired from the right of the Spinnaker Tower as this would have enabled me to frame the image, but there is always next year I suppose.

HMS Warrior

I took this image when i very first bought my EOS 350D. I personally like the way that the light behind the rigging of the steam/sailing ship makes it in to a silhouette. The streaked lighting in the background was from a passing ferry and I think it adds motion to what otherwise would look like a very placid image.
