I caught this year's Fourth of July Independence Day celebration and used action on the medium telephoto-zoom. Here is an interesting capture though I got skunked after my long trek from the Golden Ponds parking when I discovered the nearly full moon was just above where the fireworks would display. I was in the good spot I used last year although I took shelter under a Roger's Grove tree during the heavenly sprinkle. I ran into the same problems with procedures shooting fireworks at night as I did last year. What else could go wrong on my long walk to the fourth venue from the Golden Ponds parking.
I named this capture after another theme from episodes of Big Bang Theory. This looks like one of those NASA images of things many millenia ago. Who coined the term, "the fabric of space." That was the late, great Carl Sagan probably. This seems to be star explosion. I particularly like the veiled bony fingers that happened over the hand-held, three second exposure. I've gotten hand-held veils like that before. I like the hand-held telephoto zoom traces without a spin. This EXIF reports 200mm but that was the report before I started to zoom. colors exploded at different times and during different parts of the zoom.
I was there to make a statement for independence... from billionaires. They can stay... if they pay even close to their share of taxes, that is. I fail to remember that the word "billionaires was in the phrase," ...of the people, by the people and for the people!
The most prominent problem is tracking the action and when to trigger the exposure: the display and eyepiece go blank and alternate tracking strategy is needed. I am coming up with an apparatus that could overcome the problem, I had trouble with accurately tracking the action while using the monopod so I ditched the monopod this year. Why would I need steady? I have conferred with several psychiatrists about the many people with explosive personality defects even though psychiatrists have little to do with the study of science.
I am adding these "action" shots to my stash, all of the fiery kind. Although I still have a pile to clean up, I dumped even more into storage this year. Apparently there was good motion and the usual shakes as the fireworks erupted. I remained impressed with how these can appear stable at all at these slow exposures. The colors: I thought of how to react to the mass of colors.

Scrappy fabric is a mixture of Soiree and Santorini by Lila Tueller and others. The brown fabric is from Hancock Fabrics. I'm not really sure what it is!

What can I say, when it comes to my postings, life is like a box of chocolates...
Some vignetting texture here, thanks to Playingwithbrushes.
Bought Michael a violin/fiddle from a guy in Opelousas, La. that restores them. This is a pic from inside his shop - really cool set-up that he has and a very talented person!
Here is the full frame landscape view of the river that feeds from String Lake down to Jenny Lake there in the Grand Tetons.

to see if any form of paten by our little friend
for Tamiko.... hope these are okay. They look a bit boring here but they actually are very pretty in person with all of the linen. Made six because one of the blocks ended up being a bit shy of 8 1/2 x 8 1/2. I'm hoping that once the paper is removed there will be enough play in the block to work but just in case I added a sixth block.

HAPPY TUESDAY'S TEXTURES !!
What does this string do? Can you guess? To maybe help you out, this is an inside wall of a very old barn. Here, the wall is lit by daylight, coming in from the open barn door. But what if...
For ESLs: Stringing somebody along means to keep them falsely believing that one has certain intentions. It can be used for good things (e.g. as part of telling a joke) or questionable things (e.g. making promises in order to get elected).
