Rockets red glare


During my month long boating trip I had the fortune of being witness to many beautiful sights.  Most from a perspective few people have to opportunity to experience.  While sitting on the back deck of the sidewheeler Lida Ann in Marietta during the '09 Sternwheel Regatta watching fireworks, I look over to the Henny Cook and observe a wonderful sight.  The moment quickly went from enjoying the fireworks to a exercise in photographic creation.



Typically I don't photograph fireworks.  No particular reason, just not something I usually have a motivation to capture.  This day proved to be different. The shadows created by the random smoke and bursts of light were all I needed. Fuel for the fire.
