Fireworks 1 [Skt Watch Friday]

   In the USA, fireworks are traditional for celebrations of July 4th and the New Year. But, they are often seen on lesser occasions. Since I did not fancy going out in the cold to shoot fireworks [no pun intended] welcoming in 2014, I went into my archive for these images. They were taken in Fall 2013 for some local celebration, and they represent my first ‘serious’ attempt at fireworks photography. At the time I was with a group of about two dozen other photographers. For me, it was quite a learning experience; and I think I had some beginner’s luck.  [A Postscript: Starting next week, I will be taking a (temporary) break from blogging.]
