Fire in the disco, fire in the gates of hell.

I love Bonfire Night. I adore getting all snuggled up in my warmest clothes and my Hunter wellington boots and sipping from a flask of mulled wine as I gaze at the lights and flashes in the sky. The firework display in St Albans, which I went to on Saturday, is a particularly good one, and attracts huge crowds. It always feels a bit Night of the Living Dead as we walk towards the park in the dark, amidst crowds of shuffling silhouettes with muddy shoes, all heading in the same direction.

Fireworks are one of my favourite things to photograph because of the sheer unpredictability. They never look quite the same through a lens as in person, but inevitably I always end up with a few photos that I love. I mean, this is one of my favourite photographs I've ever taken - even though it was just with a phone camera at Glastonbury, and I was annoyed that the umbrella was blocking my shot (and that's kind of the best thing about it).

It was hell cutting these down - I took over 200 on the night! There's tons more here on my Facebook page though, if you're interested. Did you go to any fireworks this year?
