I have always been interested in taking photos such as this one. I was travelling in a car in the United Kingdom at night and trying to take a photo from inside the car through the windscreen. What I wanted was to be able to get the street lights, the road, and a faint outline of the magazine lying on the dashboard. I think I succeeded with this photo.
This is a diwali cracker (called a rocket) as it goes straight up with great speed. As the rocket is lighted, it makes a hissing noise as the wick lights up the powder, and then suddenly it moves up with great speed. A great thing to watch, although a bit noise.
Another photo of a Diwali sparkler. Watching these small rockets go straight up is fun, but pretty difficult to capture on photo because of the speed at which the rockets go straight up. I found this photo to be very interesting, given that it seems to have captured the movement of the rocket at various stages in one photo.
This is another photo of a colourful sparkler lighted on Diwali. The sparkler produces a burst of sparks and flames vertically; dangerous if you get too close but good to watch otherwise.
