2012’s unblogged favorites – #2: Roman candle

Nikon D3000, 18mm (18-55), 1/15, f/4.5, ISO 3200

During our annual fireworks extravaganza I shot 377 photos, 376 of which were eclipsed by the shot of the one that went bad. As much as I love that picture, I have to admit that it isn’t the best teaching tool. How useful is it to learn how to capture something that isn’t likely to ever happen exactly that way ever again?

So here’s a more standard shot that any Fourth of July celebrant should be able to capture. The light and the smoke bring me mindful of the sights, smells and feeling of a hot summer evening (most welcome in these cold days).
