We have been so so lucky with the weather this year as despite the endless wind, rain, and miserable weather both Halloween and Bonfire night miraculously remained dry thus the kids were able to enjoy themselves whilst trick or treating and watching the fireworks without getting soaked to the bone. Though I did my best to capture some atmospheric snapshots during the festivities, fireworks and sparklers aren’t all that easy to photograph as they often blur, streak, or don’t show up as had planned in pictures.
