Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
Like millions of Americans I watched a firework display over the holiday. Not a big computer generated extravaganza, but a simple, small town 'shoot em up and do it again' kinda show. The best part for me was this year I wasn't "working the show" but just being a spectator. Not being a job allowed me to experiment as I would never be able to is someone was paying for guaranteed results.
So I just let them rip and shot what, and how, I wanted -- without a tripod. I knew would be tossing a lot of wiggly jiggly frames, and I did, but I didn't care because I had the freedom to play and see if anything worthwhile came out.
That's the fun in photography, which is exactly why I've spent my life doing what I do.
Technical notes: Leica M9 fitted with a 35 and 90 Summicron lenses respectively. Exposure was a few seconds, hand held, at f/11-16. ISO 200.
