A color-less explosion.

Shooting fireworks displays can be a challenge to come up with something new and different. So when I was editing the images, I decided to do a composite of a number of images and come up with something that looks like the ending but not all blown out. While in PS for this, I was processing with a b&w layer, I change the blend mode and am able to play with the colors a little bit. When I did that with this one, I knew that I would need to do my normal b&w conversion on it when I finished.

Here is the results and I really like it. I think I am going to be printing this one out and hanging it on the wall.

Nope these were the extra loud ones. I can feel the percussion of the mortar from my front yard.

Nice - always refreshing to see something different from the run-of-the-mill fireworks images.

Great shot.

I immediately flashed back to the opening scenes of Woody Allen's Manhattan, with the fireworks going off over New York City while Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, plays in the background. And of course, all of it in gorgeous black-and-white.
