The Apparition



Did you know that fireworks can legally be sold in Connecticut?  I didn't.  We stopped to visit cousins and nieces and nephews and one of them, Connor,  had just returned with a package of legal fireworks.  So he started lighting them off, and I thought it might make a cool picture.  So I got down low on the ground, and used a telephoto lens, and he stayed far enough away from the pyrotechnic so's not to get burned, and I started shooting when the fireworks went off.  He decided to raise his arms in a muscle builder pose, which was perfect for the feeling of the photograph.  Cool, huh?

Thank You! It did end up looking pretty cool. Connor is the person behind the fireworks.
