I'll be the first to admit this is no great photo, as it was taken at night with a hand-held 1/4 second exposure, but I think it helps to show the height to which some of the fireworks in the National Fireworks Competition achieve. Taken from over a mile and a half away across Plymouth Sound from near the Blockhouse at Mount Edgcumbe.
For some much better example photos taken from much closer, see Tony Atkin's examples from 2003 here SX4853 : Fireworks Competition SX4853 : More Fireworks
