Mother Nature wins

This past July 4 I ended up last-minute shooting a fireworks show as a thunderstorm approached.



The RAW info claims f/4.5 ISO 800 with a 5-second exposure. I suppose that's possible.

That may well be award-winning material. Consider submitting it to a mag or a website!

I agree, submit that somewhere, it is awesome.

That's very kind of you. I honestly would have no idea where to submit such a thing. If you have ideas please drop me a mail.

Nifty. I'm a little unclear on your description, though - are you saying you grabbed a camera at the last minute during a public fireworks show, and got this shot, or did you set off fireworks at the last-minute as a thunderstorm approached in hopes of getting some lightning in the frame? The latter seems less likely given local fireworks laws, but then for the pyrotechnics crowd "shooting" a fireworks show means setting off fireworks, not taking pictures.

Sorry for the confusion. At the last minute, on July 4th, I went to a fireworks display - hadn't planned to go. Took my camera and tripod as I tend to do. The thunderstorm rolled in as the show was going on - the downpour started less than two minutes after the finale' of the show ended.
