I love to see fireworks, but I don’t like loud noises and traffic jams. Last night we had a treat of seeing them from about a mile away at our friends’ home. I experimented with a technique called live composite. The camera makes a base shot then only adds incremental light. This way I could capture multiple bursts without overexposing the surrounding scene. In some cases the subsequent bursts were in the same place, so the light built up in that concentrated area. Other times the bursts were in different places that made magical compositions, in my humble opinion.
Early thunderstorms left a rainbow and cooler temperatures
Boat docks and the waterway made an interesting foreground
