Boom Boom

Flash go the lights!

Must mean it's time for the big fireworks show! Time to celebrate our Independence. Or Dependence, as it seems primarily these days. But I digress...

It was storming and raining for a couple hours before the show. Quit about 45 minutes before the fireworks. So the turnout was kinda light. It was very damp, humid, and the air was very still.
A nice big burst with a few smaller ones at the same time.

One of the many big kaboom single bursts.

I'm not sure what this was. I was experimenting with a multiple exposure technique, and this may be some of the result. The air was almost foggy. And the still air caused the smoke from the fireworks to really just hang there for a long time.

I think this is one of my favorite captures. Not sure what to call it, but it kind of looks like some kind of big scary insect or a bunch of spiders. Looks cool whatever it is!

Fireworks are always interesting to shoot. They're not hard, once you have the camera set up right. But the randomness of it means you never really know what you'll get. And you can't stop to look at them while the show is going on - you just keep shooting! Reviewing is for after the show!
