Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral 800th Birthday - Liverpool

Easier to set up a tried and tested firework display than pay more and get a creative one

Just wondering because the wqualitys not to bad considering its nightime an you had no tripod.

Mines just a crappy c-370 zoom olympus 3.2mp
I`m after buying a new camera, ie: fuji s5900 or sumink like that, nothing too fancy.

wheres your vids whelan?

you an waddi were the other side of the landing stage to me.

I was expecting it to all be around the tower and the cathedrals but their displays were shit and covered by the massive plume of smoke from the ones at the Liver Building.

There must of been a hell of a lot of fireworks set up to last that long, just kept going non stop, on both cathederals, the Liver buildings and what seems to me like Crosby beach?

I was hoping for a few to come off St Johns.

So glad I went, I'm still buzzin off it lol

and no didnt seem like they played any local music, couldnt really hear, just some old dude with his radio on a couple of metres away. one or two tracks did sound a bit irishy lol

Whelan's on his mobile phone and will take ages to upload his vids

is anyone posting the video content up?

surely there will be a youtube soon
from someone that was there

Lol, well that makes sense it was supposed to be centered around the Pier Head lol.

someone help whelan out and get him to get vids up.

Those of you that didnt go to see it really did miss out.

I got a video before me batteries died but it would be poo lol.

Yeah yeah, stop rubbing it in, lol

lol fair enough, I didn't know.

Wonder why the big ones where so far down away from the city? I couldnt see where they were from cas the landign stage was in the way.

Good effort for the big bad boat and the little tugs to have a horn competition afterwards too. That rocked.

i have gigabites of video to get off my camera to trim/mix n match so its gonna take me hours yet. i will have it done by the end of the week and somehow upload it to youtube. should deffo be worth it.

i was at my happiest when the boats started sounding there horns lol

I was at priory Wharf.

Mark, Pics posted in the gallery..

The camera quality is great for outside pics and Im getting a lot more out of it since Matty and Mark have been explaining all the terminology and how to use the features (thanks guys)

ISO settings upto 400 (pretty lame with quite a bit of noise)
Shutter speed from 8s to 1/1000s

and an 8x optical zoom

it takes a good quality pic for only a 3mp, better than some other 7mp I've used. it must have a good ccd.

woop woop a whelan mix

That will also be because the lens is obviously good, plus the sensor can handle the amount of pixels being placed onto it with ease.

The problem most high megapixel cam's have is they dont increase the size of sensor's relative to the number of megapixels.

What happens then, especially with night time shots, is camera's shoot better at a lower resolution.

Ive always been of the opinion that 3 - 4mp is all anyone really needs to be shooting in unless they have a real need for large prints etc...

Gimme a 3 megapixel Kodak over a 10 megapixel Vivitar any day of the week lol.
