Anvancy, I enjoyed it for sure! Thanks for treating us to these time lapse videos! And seriously man, how do you guys draw that complex rangoli pattern so well? Phew!

By the way, things happened as Hitanshu prophesised, I botched up and lack of tripod didnt help.
Nevertheless here s one,

Ken, I had checked out the Exif. By MO I was asking about other details, like did he use a tripod and whether he used a method similar to what Sri advised in the beginning of Hitanshus thread.

Xavier, good work! Atleast some one made it! Modus Operandi?
Thanks Titus. Well, with the camera mounted on tripod in self timer mode and as the EXIF says, used long exposures of 25-30 secs. And using Sri's method managed to minimise overexposure by covering the lens when there were no firecrackers around.

Specially loved the shots from Xavier and Hillpanther:)

I spent about 20mins taking shots with my 50D + 28-105mm

All shots except the last two are with the cam mounted on my Cullmann Magneist 35 ball head and placed on the hood of my car;) (forgot my tripod legs at home!):eek:
