Really pleased with the way it turned out but I hate my writing - a 5 year old could do a better job!

I usually find most fireworks pictures pretty much the same, so this year I put on a filter, and feel like it successfully spiced up pictures that are traditionally difficult to make stand out.
My little brother and I decided to go take some pictures downtown Atlanta in an abandoned warehouse. We took a lot of shots, but this one in particular was the highlight. As you can see he is crushing this light tube against the post. I am about 20-30 feet back however when he hit the post, it exploded making a loud sound like a gun going off. The glass pieces flew at me cutting up my hands and putting some nice little scratches on my lens. Luckily they were in front of my face or it wouldn't look that good anymore =0 but enjoy.

Explode sign-up seems simple enough, but it has a few catches.
Your name: is actually going to be your username. However, I entered my First Last name, which, with the space removal they snuck into the mix and grabbing the first letter of my last name, became the equivalent of, firstl. Now try to log in if you don't know that.
