For this shot I wish all the fireworks had turned out blurry.

This might be my favorite one of the night.

One of the first fireworks of the night. There was still plenty of light in the sky.

Fireworks Crazy

Everyone is getting into the fireworks craze these days.

Ordinary

An ordinary shot of the fireworks.

Senko Hanabi

Senko hanabi are the kind of fireworks used in Japan in the early 20th century. Here is an image I found that shows why I think this shot looks like them.

Christmas in July

These fireworks look like a Christmas tree.

Surreal

By adjusting the focus when taking a long exposure of fireworks, you can get some as bokeh and some sharp.

A New Take on Fireworks

with effect

without

Last year I saw a post on Colossal about a photographer who took shots of fireworks with a macro lens. I thought that sounded [and looked] cool.

Both shots done in camera.

It was fun to see the fireworks last night.

I should have brought my 11-16mm lens.

Moon Over Downtown Sendai

This was taken right after the fireworks display. Suddenly the city became quiet and I could see the skyline and the moon. It was nice. I wish the picture had turned out better.
