I was in Manila to attend baby Jewel Merari's dedication and afterwards met up with my sister in her favorite coffee shop. We were at a mall and I knew they were gonna have a fireworks display at around 8 so I was surprised when at a little after 7, i noticed people scrambling outside all looking up so I knew it somehow started early. I grabbed my digicam since I haven't ever used it for fireworks and now's the best time to put it to the test so to say. Problem is, there were a bit of clustered small trees (we were in a sort of sky garden) and since I was late, all good spots had been taken. I had to balance myself on an outcropping of sort and started just snapping away, it was over almost immediately. Gaaahhh! my camera was lagging like crazy in between shots, 2-3 seconds really, probably because it was low on battery, and when you're trying to capture fireworks, up one second, gone the next, it made it as impossible as catching a falling star on cam, that is, if you even knew there would be one. So anyway, i tried to make do with what I have, I have only one decent shot really, so I had to use the most basic but often pleasantly surprising editing tool: cropping lol.
