A Moment of Fireworks

I enjoy photography and thought it would be fun to share some shots I've taken of fireworks. I've always been intrigued with the idea of how pictures capture a moment and what more brilliant moment to capture than a festive explosion.



I used a pretty standard Cannon camera. It's digital so you can take a lot of shots and not worry about wasting film. Much of the challenge is anticipating the explosion. You really have to hit things at just the right moment where the action hasn't started yet but the camera still has something to focus on. I'm sure it's much easier with professional equipment but sometimes it's more fun to experiment with circumstances and come up with creative solutions (or happy accidents) to a challenging situation.
