Sienna Lights The Night Sky

We were thrilled with our creativity award last month, and we have been constantly thinking about new creative things we might try. This is our first shot at catching fireworks, and we learned a lot... just wait till 4th of July! :-) Knowing the fireworks would not last long, and knowing we would need long (3 second) exposures to catch them, we set two cameras on tripods and blazed away. 10 minutes and almost 250 pictures later, we had a lot of shots to pick through. It may be worth showing the outtakes sometime, as they are pretty funny too (ghost images, blurs, double exposures from when both flashes fired while one shutter was open). In a couple of these shots you can see the results of Sienna moving after the flash had fired, and the city lights appear to burn through her body. We always get a kick out of people's guesses about where the pictures were taken. I am sure we will get some "I am sure that is San Antonio, and I can tell you within a block of where you were";-) This one will likely be a bit obvious... As always, we loved shooting them, and hope you enjoy viewing them. Sienna and Sienna's adoring husband
