For the first time of my life I tried to take pictures of fireworks. We have a little view on the Eiffel Tower from our living room’s window ( http://365project.org/parisouailleurs/365/2010-06-18).
But the fireworks are from the Trocadero so I saw may be 2% of them, hidden by buildings. I don’t know how to capture them and at the finale the zoom got blocked. This is one the worst picture of the night but my favorite. I have no idea of what happened and how to get this kind of effect. The orange discs on the right are the lights of the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Here are more pictures http://tinyurl.com/2vk593s. I would be very happy to have your review about my choice of the day; do you think I picked the good one?
Living between Paris and the countryside, love taking pictures, a lot of pictures...

Helene - hope you had a great celebration yesterday. Paris I should think was packed. Here the weather was so mixed and the wind so strong, that our mayor moved everything into the salle de fete, except for the children's lantern parade which marched round the village at about 11pmWas great fun
Hi Hilary - Guess as you say that Paris was packed but we spent the day in Brussels, left at 8 AM and came back at 9 PM and at this time Paris looked empty except around the Eiffel Tower that we have avoided!
I love all the dots of light on this. Its lovely. It doesn't matter if a picture we take is not perfect. Its good not to take ourselves too seriously on here. Give my love to Paris......
We were up in Paris for a few days in November last year. Went to a concert and play at the Theatre Bouffe du Nord. Some terrific exhibitions were on as well. A really good time. Wonderful city. First time we'd travelled from here on the TGV. Smooth ride. Hope to be up in Paris again this autumn.
I think my favorite is the one with the Eiffel in corner and the silhoutted skyline. I think if there was more of the tower in it would be a really beautiful shot. Maybe worth another attempt?
Was this Bastille day? I missed it by one day, I arrived in Paris the day after, my girlfriend lives in Paris and I was here last year for the Eiffel Towers birthday, with the concert and fireworks, that was a really lovely evening!
Saw this in the firework thread, and I like this, I really do. Not the kind of firework shots you see all day, but that makes it special. It's beautiful.
