The weather has been gorgeous today!
It always inspires me to make some pyro's.
I've made some fountains for tonight - with a middle candle piece.
4 x 2 cm (id) 12" (h) fountains (65% BP/ Al / and coarse C) linked together with black match.
The 5th tube is not a fountain but a 1.5 cm candle with C comet and 3gs BP lift.
My aim is to have 4 fountains each firing off together (well almost ) then a candle at the finale!
Ambitious for me - no doubt easy to others - will let you all know how it all works out.
If I can sort out the lighting, I'll attempt to take some pictures. I always find that there are so many sparks, and the like, that the true effect is never caught - at leasts by me anyway on camera.
Any tips for photographing pyro. ground pieces?

This is a tip regarding filming pyro, especially anything sparky with a camera. Set it to manual focus, or suffer!
With your fountain set piece, if you replaced the candle with a mine (preferably ejecting reports) it would be known as a 'Devil amongst the Tailors'

Thanks for the advice Adamw.
Wow! Never knew it was called that!

BTW - the piece worked surprisingly well - I even impressed my girlfriend who is scared of sparklers!

i agree with adam deffinatly about the 'set to manual focus or suffer', i have made many pyrotechnics at night that have been on automatic focus and by the time it gets into focus the show is over and all you get is a bright blur on camera.
