Description

"...And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air..." -Francis Scott Key, 1814

I intentionally set this to "resize" for those of you with smaller monitors, but I hope you'll take the time to click the "zoom in" feature to see the image at full size. Note, the width at full size is 1776, heheheh. I really blew the exposure setting this time. I guess I had one too many margaritas, lol. Anyway, I didn't check my presets and shot this at a high ISO (so the full size images are pretty noisy) and at a wide open aperture (so the highlights are way blown and not very colorful). Still, I managed to salvage some photos for a collage and they don't look too bad at a lower resolution. Where I live in Florida, people are really into fireworks on 4th of July and New Year's Eve. Many neighbors put on very high quality shows. Some of them probably spend several thousand dollars for one night's entertainment. From my backyard, I saw about 10 "private" fireworks displays. Thank goodness it didn't rain! ----- Thanks for your furtive comments on my last upload, In The Shadows Lurk.

Yes, Dave is right. In Hawaii, we have to spend lots of loot to shoot. And no aerials either. Only the pros can do that. Great shots. I need more practice. Aloha and thanks for your comments on my gallery too.
