Luminous Patriot - Zioptis fireworks experiments

Zioptis Fireworks Experiments

Straight from camera. No manipulation.

 

There's an American flag in this picture, just above the Ferris Wheel.

 

I like taking pictures of fireworks that do NOT look like fireworks! Instead of the recommended tripod and "fireworks" setting, I move the camera in various directions using exposures ranging from 1 second to 15 seconds.

 

Also, I use a small complete set of Roscoe Color gel samples to wave in front of the lens to get colors not typically seen in major fireworks shows. Various glow sticks and mirrors give even more variety and textures to round out the package.
