For this shoot I went over to Harlow common with a couple of friends and a whole load of sparklers and essentially just played about with the sparklers while taking photographs using a long exposure, a low ISO and the flash for most of them. I essentially have two sets of photos in one; one set with the sparklers and my friends and the other set of the lights and horizon on the way back.
This is probably one of the best photographs from the set with the sparklers, I think that the red spark finishes of this photo as they were really red and bask everything in a red glow. This photo shows colour as well as movement.
This is one of the good ones from the second set with the lights, they were achieved by creating intentional camera shake while using a long exposure. This photo shows colour and movement like the previous one.
To improve upon this I could potentially get some external flashes that are fairly powerful so that I get more background included within the photo or try introducing some camera shake into the photos with the sparklers that I would normally take using a tripod to create ghostly blur of things as well as the light trails.
