Fireworks!

Last Friday was quite explosive:

 

 

 

Flower Fireworks

 

The past few years I’ve tried improving my fireworks photography skills. It’s been much harder than I’d like, to the point where one friend commented as I brought out the camera: “You’re going to try for fireworks again?”. It’s possible I should start leaving the camera in the bag more often…

 

Dazzling Fireworks  

Fireworks over Lake Crowley at Moonset

 

I’m mostly happy with this shot, with the setting moon in the background, over Lake Crowly. I should probably crop out the reflection in the car windows along the left, but I think it adds something. What it adds, I’m not sure.

    You were in exactly the same place as my father on the 4th…he said it was beautiful. Luis and I were on the road back from Yosemite that night…amazingly, driving past that same lake as well, although we didn’t stop. The shots turned out great. Luis tried to photograph some fireworks the week before the Fourth, and he got some good pictures, but it is really difficult.
