I was lucky enough to get to stand back and watch one of the two shows I worked on last weekend. I still thoroughly enjoy watching fireworks shows, especially those that I've been involved in setting up.
Talking of which...

Some of the other fireworks. |
Between bouncing up and down with excitement, I managed to get a few pictures and a couple of video clips...

The large shells lit up the crowd - this is just a few of the many thousands of people there! |
The sound quality is a bit rubbish on the video because I was stood right next to the speaker stacks! But it gives a pretty good idea of what the show was like...

What an interesting and fun job you have! I love fireworks - can only begin to imagine the planning and work that goes into putting a show together.
:) I don't think I could do it as my main job though - a lot of physical labour and adrenaline, but it's great as a sideline. Definitely gets me out of the house!
