Pink Azaleas found at Descanso Gardens. This is a very old bush and this year's bloom was spectacular due to our recent abundance of rain.

Taken at The Town of Beacon Falls Fireworks
July 9th, 2011
Beacon Falls, CT
I'm not going to go and ruin your future experimentation by giving you step by step instructions on how I did this (incase you feel inspired by this in any way), but i'll at least tell you that I did NOT use Photoshop to create this. I used only my tripod and camera.
I was getting kind of bored shooting photographs of single bursts of fireworks, at this past year's 4th of July's firework display. I wanted to capture the fireworks from a completely different perspective, and luckily, I feel like i was more than successful in doing so.
I started getting experimental as the shutter was being held open, and I couldn't have been more amazed, or more surprised to see this abstract image on the LCD. I began taking a whole bunch of shots similar to this, until I finally nailed the effect of what i wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it. I pointed my lens towards the general area where most of the fireworks were bursting at, and i guess I just timed this perfectly to be able to pull it off... even better and more interesting than I had expected.
