Fireworks on a Canon G9

As I continue to find ways to leave my 5D at home and relax with this lightweight wonder, the Canon G9, I put it to the fireworks test.

I used a clamp-style tripod and hooked up to the railing on the back porch.

The exposure data is: ISO80 5.0sec @ f5.6

No noise at ISO80 made these come out pretty sweet.

Our Lovely B&B in Edinburgh

We stayed at a small bed & breakfast in Edinburgh called McNeil House. The wall that surrounds the house was built in the 1840's. It surrounded a farm. The house was built in the early 1900's.
