I found sparklers in the road last night on the way to get liquor.

There were only five, but I figured it was a good opportunity to take some photos.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Not really for C&C, but if you have any thoughts, I'd consider them. They were just for fun after all.

only c&c is next time wait until after you consume the liquor to use your camera and new found sparklers.

Off topic here Tyler, but is your logo on those photos round because it is the shape of a drum? like a play on words? or was that just a coincidence?

To be honest, I hadn't really thought about it. My girlfriend designed it, and I'm not sure her reasoning behind it. I just knew I liked it when I saw it. The font she used is Gotham, and it's beautiful in both web and print design: Gotham | Hoefler & Frere-Jones

Went out and had some additional sparkler shots.

It looks kind of like a dragon in the smoke on the left hand side of her IMO.

the first round was good. Second round were outstanding. Even though in isolation, I have no idea it's a sparkler in #1 from round 2, it's still an amazing job. Gives me an idea for the next time I shoot someone with a distinctive silhouette to let them hold the speedlight with the radio trigger attached.

I think in photo 1 from post 2 he was trying to light the sparkler at that point, so it was just the AB800 firing at his back. I just liked the long shadow, and detail on the pavement. It's really fun to light smoke from behind. Lots of cool effects you can get.

I also kind of like this one as well

Freaking awesome! The one where the sparkler isn't lit yet... I think the first from the second set.. Is my favorite! It's amazing. Your photography is always so inspiring.

Thank you Laynea! That's very kind of you to say. Glad you enjoyed them!

I like the 4th one on the first set the most. I really like how you can see the different color sparks starting to fly out. Good stuff man.

Thanks Paige! I think his silhouette looks similar to Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons.

The one above is my favorite as well, the subtle outline is amazing......although they are all outstanding. So much for a newbie to learn so little time!

Thank you! You can learn a lot here. You just need a flash, light stand and wireless triggers. Sparklers help too...
