The most famous element of Edinburgh's annual fireworks display is the impressive waterfall effect down the rock face.
I've been trying to get this right for years, and finally cracked it with the judicious placement of a gloved thumb for the majority of the exposure. As a result, it's eight seconds at F29 for the airborne rockets, and maybe about 1.5 - 2 seconds for the falls, which can hurt your eyes to watch, even from a mile and a half away Smile

Tidy bit of work is that David, nice one. Being hyper-critical, it feels like it needs a tiny rotation CCW just to sure up the clock-tower.

I'd be very happy to have this one in my PF though.

A mile and a half?
No wonder Natalie laughs when you talk about lengths.
