All tagged fourth of july
After compositing a set of fireworks photos together, I was struck by the notion of just how much color was there. Fireworks are pretty colorful and that's one reason why we love them. Why not turn that on its head. Break the rules. Fuck the King. Black & White? No, monochrome blue because I was freezing at the waterfront after the sun went down.
After a three year absence, I returned to the waterfront for Fourth of July fireworks. I found the event to be difficult due to heavy traffic in a very small area. But since I have the A6000 now, I wanted to try it out in more low light situations.
I had went down to the waterfront several days before Independence Day to scout locations and compositions. I wanted something iconically Suisun and that meant the Lighthouse. I also wanted a location that was easy to get in and out of by foot considering the crowds and lack of parking.
