The Year in Review: Big bang theory

My two favorite fireworks shot this year are very different.  I had a chance to shoot the annual city fireworks show from a vantage point near their launch at the old Heinz factory.  It seemed as if they were exploding directly overhead.

The other memorable fireworks shot was during a photo shoot with the fire department igniting illegal fireworks to show their danger.  They decided to ignite a particularly large one called a Dyno-Stick.  As soon as the flare's flame touched the fuse it blew up showering sparks everywhere and giving us a good scare. Too much fun with the rockets red glare.
