Culmination ***EXPLORED***
Sometimes a name for a photo just comes to you. Other times, you just want to post it and move on. But I like the duality of this name.
The fireworks event was for the closing of the Tall Ships festival for Philadelphia and Camden harbors and to celebrate Independance Day (a tad early).
But it is also the time where I really get to test my photography skills. I don't shoot fireworks more than two times a year, so every year I find out how far my skills have progressed. The shows are short, lasting around 10 minutes or so. It's dark so you can forget about autofocus. You have to compose your shot either beforehand and never move the camera, or you adjust on the fly during the event. And then you just don't know what is going to explode where. It's a real test of skills.
