Not the organisers fault this time (can't help the wind!) but I really detest Stockton's display. Parking is horrible (Took me an hour to leave the Teesdale carpark) and they go overboard with the display with stupid commentary. I'll be venturing elsewhere next year.
 
Well, at least you braved the weather (if it is anything like Hull). I stayed in because a) I don't fancy getting my kit wet and b) I'm lazy but swarming with projects and work, better off doing this and visit another fireworks on a good weather next time~
 
This shot was when I ran round to the other side trying to actually see something.

I had a lovely view from the 3rd storey of the car park and as soon as it started, the smoke started heading towards my direction and I couldn't see a thing.

By the time I had a good position, it finished! :(

Problem is, over the opposite side is a scummy estate, well a few actually! I didn't fancy setting up my equipment over there in fear of a good stabbing! :(
 
My local fireworks display was atrocious as well far too busy, got myself there early and setup in a similar spot to last years display. Settled under a tree for shelter from the rain but I got an annoying branch in a few shots :(

End result was too much smoke for decent photos and the guy that arrived behind me was giving away almost the entire plot to the new bond film very loudly, so I moved my location and all I got was more smoke and light trails from sparklers :(

So I left 5 mins before the ends and beat the crowds. Always next year though.
 
There is no plot to the new Bond film.

Anglian Water make more convincing villains at holding you to ransom over the supply of water.
 
I went to the Stockton display and from where I was standing I got a really good view, wished I'd taken a camera with me. The smoke was really bad, you must have been on the wrong side of it.
 
Not as bad as the fireworks display I went to. Travelled a 100 mile round trip to go back home and watch (and film) my local fireworks display. Was completely rained out and the fireworks never happened, was an absolute disaster.
