Description
The smoke from early 4th of July fireworks adds mysterious clouds to the Independence Day celebration! We got to watch the explosions right next to the lake

It was cool being able to see the 'launch site' along with the reflections! But I love the smoke

Yes, I drove to the Ohio side of the river for the first time to shoot these. It was a good angle for a change.

The water helps but to me, the best aspect of this shot is the apparent proximity to the ground.
By including a good chunk of dim land and ground lights, you've given the fireworks a truer sense of scale, without detracting from thre aerial display.

Hi Ruth,
you know I have never done a shot like this, but I think they are beautiful. This one to me, is particularly striking.

Thanks, Wayne! I haven't ever really tried before, well, not since I knew what I was doing
I really liked the surrounding lights and smoke in this one even if the actual explosion was a little over exposed

The dynamic range of scenes like this are vast, few if any cameras can capture them without some under and over exposure. It is really a question of balancing what you will under expose and what you will over expose. I think it is well done especially given what you were working with.
