Happy Fourth!

Posted by Betty (New Jersey, United States) on 4 July 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

My first attempt, and not a very good one, at fireworks from Harmony Township's Community Day. We were a good distance away, watching from the mountain looking down with about thirty other people.

Not good? What is the problem? It has a nice balance and movement.

Good intentions count for something ... try lengthening your shutter speed ~ 2 seconds.
