bitospud: Our New Year's Eve party gets underway with (clockwise from bottom left) Kathryn, Katie, Edith, Emma, Tom, Keith, Andrew and Steve
bitospud: No photo could adequately capture the excitement of the whole panoramic skyline suddenly lighting up with a range of fireworks (and huge beams of light from the Shard) at midnight, so I'm sharing this inadequate one on the basis that it's not blurry.
bitospud: Some early fireworks, before I'd figured out the best settings for clear photos of them on my camera!
bitospud: The white fireworks here look a bit like a series of haphazardly arranged autographs by signing-weary celebrities
bitospud: Smiley face fireworks! (Green eyes, red mouths.) As previously seen in Lewisham Council's Blackheath fireworks display this year!
bitospud: Pink and green fireworks drifting across the Eye
bitospud: Fireworks! From and in the vicinity of the London Eye, as viewed from our flat in Lewisham
bitospud: Colourful New Year fireworks seen from Lewisham
bitospud: RGB fireworks
bitospud: This is the bit where the London Eye is doing its Pride rainbow thing - my favourite setting on its lighting, of course
bitospud: Purple Eye + yellow fireworks = coordinating with my coat
bitospud: Pink fireworks
bitospud: These fireworks look like flowers or plants or something
bitospud: Finale approaching
bitospud: Grand finale of the fireworks
bitospud: After the fireworks, time for fun with sparklers!
bitospud: Rachel makes an excellent attempt to write 2015 backwards, before I realise 4 seconds is not an adequate exposure time in which she can do so
bitospud: Katie tries writing 2015 backwards next, but 4 seconds is really not long enough.
bitospud: Emma decided to write 2015 round the right way for her and get me to flip the photo afterwards. Good thinking! (Flipped photo)
bitospud: Keith framed his face nicely in the 0 of his successful '2015' (flipped photo)
bitospud: Edith just had fun whooshing her sparkler around in a sort of infinity shape :)
bitospud: Rachel had another go at writing 2015 backwards and came out with this rather stylishly artistic offering
bitospud: I'm pretty happy with my '2015' effort with my second sparkler!
bitospud: Toasting 2015 with fizz - served, naturally, in lime-green plastic cups. (Clockwise from front: Katie, Steve, Keith, Rachel, Edith, Tom, Emma.)
